A Dangerous Path (Warriors, Book 5) (original 2004; edition 2005)

My daughter Sarah (8 years) is actually the one rating this series. She cried near the end of this story, because one of the cats that she was fond of died. I found Sarah's tears upsetting, but she assured me that this book nonetheless deserves 5 stars.

As a side note, this series has inspired Sarah to write a bunny themed adventure story. :) ( )

I appreciated the fact that this book stands well on its own, despite the fact that it's part of a series with a continuing storyline. In other words, you can read it on its own and still feel like you've read a complete story instead of only part of one. Obviously reading the previous books makes the reading experience a bit richer, but still .....

Anyway, the kids and I found this to be an enjoyable book overall. But I feel a word of warning is warranted for younger reader and their parents. The series has been getting progressively darker for a couple of books now. That bent takes a pretty sharp turn in this book and might not be suitable for sensitive readers. ( )

Such a beautiful, imaginative series. I choose to believe this is what happened to my Taz after she went missing. I can easily picture her being Shadow Clan. ( )

I have to say that the danger in the dangerous path was certainly true. There was a lot of cruel moments that had to be passed through. ( )

Fireheart is shocked and nervous of the newly introduced Shadowclan leader, Tigerstar. But Fireheart has other things to worry about. Cats are mysteriously getting themselves injured, and all fireheart knows is that Thinderclan needs to be careful........... ( )
