Warrior Cats Series

Warrior Cats or Warriors are a series filled with adventure, action and of course many cats. By the author Erin Hunter, these books are based on the world in the views of cats and how they see us as. Read on if you want to find out more about these series and decide if these books are the right ones for you!

The Clans

There are four cat clans living in a forest. These clans are: Shadowclan, Windclan, Riverclan and Thunderclan which all follow the same code and share the same ancestors called Starclan. Every full moon, the clans have a gathering at the centre of the forest called four trees. This is where they have a truce and they share news on what has happened during the moon (month); they also use this as an advantage to learn about the other clans without giving much information to them. If they fight during the truce, Starclan will sent a cloud to cover the moon and the gathering would be over.

Shadowclan- Wily and proud

Windclan-Swift and loyal

Riverclan- Clever and strong

Thunderclan- Fierce and brave

Rankings

If you were asking, of course there are rankings in a clan! The leader will have star at the end of their name (exa.Bluestar). There is a medicine cat that heals their clan mates (exa.Spottedleaf) and the warriors are the fighters of the clan (exa.Whitestorm). The apprentices have the word paw at the end of their name and have to train hard and pass assessments successfully to earn their warrior or medicine cat name (exa.Sandpaw or cinderpaw).

The Queens in the clans are the cats who have kits or are going to have kits (kittens); they have to stay in the nursery until their kits become apprentices.

There are over 25 books telling the stories of the clans and their struggles in life and code with many Super Editions to read which covers the backstory of some of the characters and clans. This is an amazing series of books and I recommend for you to read them as it also shows that nothing lasts forever. It has brilliant description on how a character is feeling and you could easily picture everything that’s happening in your mind with ease.
