But the warrior code is threatened, and the ThunderClan cats are in grave danger. The sinister ShadowClan grows stronger every day. Noble warriors are dying — and some deaths are more mysterious than others.
In the midst of this turmoil appears an ordinary housecat named Rusty . . . Who may yet turn out to be the bravest warrior of them all.

Twilight success
With all of the “undead” novels available, writer Stephanie Meyer has hit it big with her characters Bella, Edward, and Jacob. The Twilight series has now been made into two movies with a third on the way, and a promise for two more. Why are they so popular? Because they have all of the elements that appeal to teens: uncertainty, emotional struggles, learning about love and passion. One thing they don’t have is sex. Meyer says it is because she is Mormon, and wanted to create a series that would reach a wide audience, but also show that sex before marriage is not the best way. Yes, Bella and Edward do kiss, but what is more apparent is the tension buildup that many have said makes for a better story. I think I would have to agree. Even though these books are geared for the younger audience, there is still a dynamic that is appealing to others as well. While these aren’t going to top the literary fiction list, they are certainly a genre that deserves some attention in the story-telling department. Check out the first book in the series today, or get the movie from CCL!
