![]() | Warriors #1: Into the Wild by Erin Hunter
Buy new: $6.99 / Used from: $0.01 This series has to be his all time favorite. About cat clans who face different trials and tribulations. Sounds silly but I don't think it is...the issues are fairly real and applicable to day to day life issues. There are three sets of books in the series. The author has just another book series called The Seekers, which he has been reading and slowly getting into.
