I think it's really well-done and I'm looking forward to the rest of the series. I got "Maximum Ride: The Angel Experiment" on Donna's recommendation above, and took it with me on a beach trip that I took with Violet, Dash and Jack-Jack. Dash picked it up and read it voraciously. He said it's the best book he ever read!

I am going to put a hold on all those books at the library. I really do want to know what happens with Brambleclaw and Squirrelflight's kits! Nick: Thanks for the comment! I was hoping we'd find out what finally happens to Graystripe. Erin: Thank you! I am going to put a hold on all those books at the library.

I've read the three warriors manga with millie and graystripe when they try to find thunderclan! My favorite manga out of all three mangas is the third one because that's when mille and graystripe become mates and they find thunderclan!

I read everything - whatever is entertaining. So you don't feel bad about reading 18 kids books and I won't feel bad ordering it from the library. ;) Dude – I read kids books all the time.

I will definitely check out "The Angel Experiment." The tragic aspect of "Warriors" is not too bad. I actually like the fact that the natural cycle of life is handled openly, from kits to elders. And the cats' existence is centered around training and living as "warriors", so it would be unrealistic if they didn't get hurt badly and/or die once in a while. Another aspect of the clan life I love, and forgot to mention in the post, is the concept of medicine cats. Every clan has once, and they practice naturopathic medicine, finding herbs and other plants to heal their clanskitties. I wouldn't try using cobwebs to patch a wound, but some of the other remedies are real. And aside from the fact that the female cats have the kits, the clan society is pretty gender neutral. Females are leaders, deputies, warriors, and male cats can also be medicine cats. Thanks again, Donna. You sound like a great grandma! Donna: Thanks for the recommendation.

I am not a big blog reader, but I stumbled across yours about the Warrior Cats which my granddaughter reads with passion. She can hardly wait for whatever new release is in her future. Think the next one is September 2...didn't see anything for August. I agree that reading in the restaurant is okay. My granddaughter has been pushing me to read at least the first Warriors book which she assures me is not too bad in the animal tragedy descriptions. We have 11 cats and a dog and I weep whenever one gets injured, sick or dies. I am puny that way! However, I read avidly with her the Patterson series "The Angel Experiment" which was fast paced and very engaging. I read it first! She read it AFTER me. We both love these 4 books (and hope for more)...and we immediately made chocolate chip cookies after we realized how "home" feeing they are in that series of adventure and major mishaps and enemies. Thank you for your blog. You are a terrific Auntie! Wow – what a wonderful blog.
