Warrior Cats

***Spoilers Ahead***
I love these books, they are about forest cats, and I am a huge cat-lover! There are two series' to the theme, two different generations of cats.

The first series is of 6 books revolving around the life of a kittypet (housecat) named rusty (he has a very orange pelt). He dreams of something beyond his ordinary life, and his dream comes true when he meets some "clan" cats when he explores outside of his yard. They accept him into the Thunderclan as an apprentice and give him the new name of Firepaw, and by the end of book 1, he becomes the warrior known as Fireheart. He and the clan go through much over the series, from rifts with the other clans; Shadowclan, Riverclan, and Windclan; to the menace of Tigerclaw, later to be Tigerstar (-star is the suffix given to clan leaders), to the dwindling sanity of their leader, Bluestar. Fireheart loses much throughout the series; a love, a friend, an apprentice, and his former mentor and admired leader. Through all of this, he eventually rises up and leads the clan to a victory over the greatest threat the clan had faced yet (little did they know that that was not the worst to come). The clans are guided by StarClan, who only medicine cats and sometimes leaders have a connection to, but Fireheart believes that even before he joined the clans, he had been lead in his dreams by StarClan. Find out what happens in Erin Hunter's first series WARRIORS in "Into the Wild", "Fire and Ice", "A Forest of Secrets", "The Rising Storm", "A Dangerous Path", and "The Darkest Hour".
FIRE ALONE WILL SAVE OUR CLAN

Hunter's second series is called THE NEW PROPHECY. It is the next generation of clan cats, mainly the kits of Firestar and Sandstorm, Tigerclaw, and Graystripe, as well as a windclan apprentice. There are currently four books in this series, I am awaiting the fourth to arrive at my library. You should read the first series to better understand this one. One cat from each clan recieves a dream from Starclan to go to a sun-drown place (the ocean most likely) to listen what midnight tells them. There will be a great danger comming to the forest and they have to find out what to do and where to go. On the journey, friendships are formed, romances spark, and a tragic loss faces the journeying cats. I won't say anymore, partly because you'll have to read the series yourself, and partly because I am tired of typing.

Read this series and you will enjoy it.
