There is a secret and it can only be found in a dream.

It all starts out with the blinding of Jaykit, who is a courageous, but mischievious little kit. He was out with his siblings, Hollykit, and Lionkit, when he missed his footings, and fell into a hole. From then on, he was injured, and had to stay in the medicine den for a long time.

After that time,

Hollykit, Lionkit, and Jaykit all turned into apprentices; Hollypaw, Lionpaw, and Jaypaw. Hollypaw tryed out for medicine cat, and Jaypaw, and Lionpaw both wanted to be warriors.

At the end, Hollypaw really didn't want to be a medicine cat, while Jaypaw was destined to be one, and so they switched places.

They were great fighters, and the whole clan appreciated them!! They were the prophecized heros that Starclan had spoke to Firestar about!!

It was a book in a series about cats, but it wasn’t what I expected. I guess I’m not really sure what I expected. It appears I jumped into the middle of an already existing series even though this is book one of The Power of Three sub series.

There are several clans of cats that monthly have a

truce meeting but otherwise are fighting each other. Part of the problem is that some clans have relations in other clans and I would likely have to go back to the very first warrior book to figure it all out. Anyhow, this book is predominantly about a litter of three kittens who are anxious to reach their 6th month naming and placing stage where they find out who their mentor will be to teach them how to contribute to the clan. Hollykit is sure that the best possible position would be the healer. Her brothers both long to be warriors. From the start we know something is different about the one brother, Jaykit, but we don’t find out he is blind until after he has “seen” things a few times. After the three kits break the rules about leaving the grounds and encounter fox kits, they are threatened with the possibility of now getting new names and mentors at the 6th month time. It turns out ok and they get their mentors but Jaypaw is angry when he is given a mentor who only has one eye. He feels he’s being singled out and life is unfair. Over time, Hollypaw realizes that she is not cut out to be a medicine cat and even though he doesn’t want to be a medicine cat, Jaypaw realizes he is supposed to be the medicine cat. While the clans decide to have a one day truce during the day and have competitions, Lionpaw and an apprentice from another clan are buried when a badger/fox den caves in. Jaypaw is able to save his brother and the other apprenctice when he “saw” the accident from his brother’s perspective while not even in the vicinity. He rushes to the rescue and both apprentices are saved.

The book “The Power of Three; Warriors; The Sight” takes place in a nature park that is the home of 4 cat clans; Thunder Clan, Wind Clan, Shadow Clan, and River Clan. In the dense forest of Thunder Clan, three kits (Hollykit, Lionkit, and Jaykit) that are the grandchildren of Firestar, the clan

leader, are eager to become apprentices. When a dead fox ifs found on the clans territory, the kits defy the warriors and set out to kill its cubs to save the clan. But as soon as they find the fox cubs, they turn out to be quite large and they chase Jawkit until he jumps off a cliff and nearly dies. As punishment the kit’s apprentice ceremony will be delayed and Firestar is unsure if Jawkit will become a warrior because he is blind. Soon the kits have their ceremony and Hollypaw is a medicine cat because of her intrest in healing cats and talking with he warrior ancestors (Stare Clan) through a pool of water called Moonpool. The other two kits become apprentices, but Jawpaw struggles in hunting and fighting neiboring clans. Because of his skills in herbs, injuries, and talking with Star Clan, Leafpool the medicine cat thinks he would be a great medicine cat. After a few Moons (months), the apprentices switch their positions in the clan and Hollypaw with her extraordinary fighting skills, can finally be used when a Shadow Clan patrol tries to clam Thunder Clan territory. Jawpaws gift of seeing Star Clan’s visions and other cats talking with them was also used when he saved Lionpaw from suffocating after falling into a badger hole at the edge of the clan’s territory.

I believe that this book would be a great movie. It tells of how challenging it can be to grow up and how complicating but rewarding it is to find your destiny. It would contain plenty of action and show the behavior and fighting skills of a feline. I also think it will send a message why it is important to protect and preserve wildlife and their habitat. Since I think how wonderful a movie of this book will be, I am going to contact the Walt Disney Company so I can try to persuade them to make the movie. I hope they will accepted my idea, and I bet other people tried to tell other companies too. Maybe the author will try to help them make the movie have as much as the book in it as possible. This book is awesome and it deserves it.

I loved this book! It contains a new prophecy, new cats, and more! I love the first books of the seasons because they hold everything new coming in the season.

Looks like it's gonna be a good series! It's main characters are a new set of clan kits, Jaykit, Hollykit, and Lionkit. Each has their own very distinct personality. In fact, their personalities have been much more creative and specific than the cats in the previous series. They have more realistic
Show More
flaws and traits than the earlier cats (no offense meant; just saying: Brambleclaw, Squirrelflight, Stormfur, etc didn't have many serious flaws). Jaykit is a serious grump, touchy and oversensitive about certain matters. Hollykit is well-meaning but a bit flaky and very impulsive. Lionkit is headstrong, easily angered, and ambitious. To be honest, I can't help but thinking one of them could go evil.

The book starts off with the story pacing a little awkward, but it's a good start and the 2nd book after this one completely hits it's stride, being one of the most solid Warriors' books I've read.

It definitely looks like it's going to be an interesting series, and is not simply a rehash of old storylines. However, many of the cats we loved from the old series are present in this one, including non-Thunderclan cats as well.

This Warriors fan defnitely recommends it!

Now the grandchildren of Firestar are getting old enough to leave the nursery and become apprentices. Lionpaw is happy being a warrior. Jaypaw is not happy with his mentor, Brightheart. Hollypaw learns she is not cut out to be a medicine cat. After some thought Hollypaw admits it. Jaypaw is not

happy but after sharing dreams with Spottedleaf he realizes his calling is to be the Clan's medicine cat. Jaypaw does not yet realize the gift he has but others do. What is happening within the Clans?

I enjoyed this new series. This book sets it up wonderfully. I feel a connection with Jaypaw. I realize he is angry, bitter, and so sure everyone sees him as useless but he has a gift that will help not only ThunderClan but all the Clans. I cannot wait to read the next book in the series. I want to know what journey StarClan will send Firestar's grandchildren on and who else will be going.
