Editorial Reviews

Cats from Riverclan, Windclan, Shadowclan, and Thunderclan are suffering due to a lack of water. The lake has essentially dried up, leaving only thin, muddy puddles and cracked dirt. Tempers flare and accusations arise from neighboring clans as they blame one another for the clan's discomfort and struggles. There is no relief in sight until an apprentice named Dovepaw has a vision of beavers building a dam far up the river. Cats Lionblaze and Jayfeather take this seriously, as they believe Dovepaw may be the third cat in the Starclan prophecy, and they keep her visions to themselves. They do voice a call for an investigation regarding the change in the water source for the lake. It is decided that two members from each clan will investigate the river's alleged obstruction, and hopefully return water to the lake. For the first time since the Great Journey the clans are traveling beyond their borders together and leaving their differences behind them. First in the "Warriors: Omen of the Stars:" series, early fantasy readers who enjoy books by Kathryn Lasky will fit naturally within the feline world created by Hunter. Reviewer: Renee Farrah Vess
