Warriors: Power of Three
The third generation takes the stage and things get even darker than before. Bluestar had prophesized long ago that the kin of Firestar’s kin, a trio to be precise, would be the most powerful cats of the age. They would have the power of the stars.

Thoughts on Allie Finkle
So I did my reread and I think it holds up for the most part. It is definately too young for anyone who reads it after lower-school. It’s almost quaint to read how Allie’s biggest problems are eating foods she doesn’t like and the worst insult is “crybaby.” Simpler times. Especially as she and her…
