I put off reading this first book of the third series about the clans of Warrior cats until it came out in paperback. As in the other two series, the main action focuses on a new generation of cats trying to prove themselves and understand their place in the clan. Firestar’s grandchildren–Hollypaw, Lionpaw, and Jaypaw– are eager to begin their apprenticeships and get into lots of mischief along the way. Jaypaw is the main character in this book as he struggles to prove that even though he is blind, he can help Thunderclan. To compensate for his lack of sight, Jaypaw is gifted with both an amazing sense of smell and hearing. And when he becomes apprenticed to the medicine cat, Leafpool, he also discovers he can enter other cat’s dreams. And don’t forget: these cats are also the grandchildren of Tigerclaw, so there’s bound to be trouble.
