From Booklist
Gr. 6-9. In the latest in the Warriors: The New Prophecy series, the six cats, four of whom have been chosen by the StarClan to save the clans, discover the "midnight" that they are "to listen to" is actually a badger named Midnight. The animal reveals the StarClan's warnings and sets the six on a path through the mountains to return to the clans. Once in the mountains, the companions encounter a tribe of cats with its own way of doing things and a mysterious prophesy. Told in alternating narratives, the story follows the intrepid questers and the plight of the clans as the "Twolegs" make incursions into the forest. The danger intensifies as does a sense of possible doom. The conclusion is a cliffhanger that will leave readers eager for the next installment. Sally Estes

Moonrise
Just so you know, I'm not going to give away any spoilers, so feel free to read this if you want to be surprised by the book-

As the sequal to Midnight, the new Warriors book picks up right where it left off- the questing cats are beginning their journey home, taking a new route that is offered to them by the badger, Midnight. Stormfur, (you get his perspective in this book) is worried for his sister's safety on this journey, especially when he sees her closeness to (get ready to gasp) Crowpaw, the WindClan apprentice.

Meanwhile, back in the forest, Leafpaw watches, the only cat who knows what's really happening, as the boundries between territories begin to fray, and formerly noble cats are beginning to resort to stealing. Even worse, ThunderClan's leader, and her own father, seems uncertain of what he can do, and his own Clan is beginning to protest against his desicions.

This is the first book that you get the prospective of a cat outside of ThunderClan. I haven't even gotten hlafway through the whole book yet, but I figured I'd write a review so that the people waiting for the book can get a little synopsis.

PS- I was going to order this off Amazon, but I found it in a bookstore before it was even out on the website!

Clans and Tribes
The Warriors cats are back! This time the 6 questing cats are returning home with a desperate message, but after hearing about a "shortcut" from "Midnight" they take a different returnign route then the way they came - which turns into a huge mess when they run into the Tribe of Rushing Water! The cats of the Tribe have a strange interest in Stormfur... But he has no idea why... And when the truth finally does come out - that's when things start heating up! Stormfur finds himself with obligations to two prophecies, and how can he take his responsibilities for both? Meanwhile Leafpaw can only wait and watch as her beloved forest is destroyed piece by piece, tree by tree... She also begins to examine the mystery of her friend Mothwing and her brother Hawkfrost's origins. The book is told from Leafpaw and Stormfur's point of view (and in one chapter, Feathertail's) for their respective side of the story. I found both sides equally interesting, and can't wait to see them intertwine in the next book, Dawn. I find the addition of the "tribes" to be very fansinating, and it makes the plot much deeper. I wonder if the tribe cats will be featured again in this series -I especially wonder about the tribe cat, Brook - it seems like she should be in it again. One of the main characters from Starclan was featured in this book again after his/her absence in Midnight, which I was glad to see. That part of it (the parts featuring Starclan) was very well done! The ending is very tragic, so be prepared, and the ending also leaves a big cliffhanger for readers to suspence over while they egearly await Dawn. Between Midnight and Moonrise (this one), I have to say I like Moonrise better. I found it more suspenceful, and the Tribe really held my interest. This book also had more action in it than did Midnight - with an intense final battle. Bottom line: another great addition to the Warriors series as a whole, and the best Warriors: The New Prophecy book so far.

Perfect!
This book was great. I was confused though that Erin Hunter would change the view to Stormfur when it was first Brambleclaw. But I soon got used to it and the book was a page turner. Even though this book is fiction and would not actually happpen, it felt real. I can not wait for the next book and I am wondering whose point of view it is going to be.
