Warriors: Into the Wild
By Erin Hunter
In Warriors, the main character initially goes by the name "Rusty," a house cat who later joins ThunderClan and receives the name "Firepaw." As he grows, he eventually becomes "Fireheart," ultimately becoming a warrior of the clan. Transitioning from a house cat to a clan warrior is incredibly challenging for him, as he often faces criticism for being a pet and living with "twolegs" (humans). Warriors showcases the character's growth and adventures. Rusty's journey highlights the importance of courage. The clan cats’ harmonious way of living with nature makes me reflect on how humans are currently harming the natural environment, leading to climate change and various forms of pollution, reminding us not to destroy nature. In to the wild is also one of my favorite stories. I watched how Fireheart and his friends overcame challenges together and how loyalty and courage tested their friendships. My favorite scene is when Firepaw helps Yellowfang wholeheartedly, causing others to think he has betrayed ThunderClan, only for them to later realize that Yellowfang is actually kind-hearted and genuinely cares about ThunderClan.

By Mary Pope Osborne
I read it several times and I loved it! This book is about two siblings, Jack and Annie. They found a magic tree house which can take them to other times or places. They accidently went to a time when there were dinasours. There are funny parts inside the book. I think it's a bit too easy, so I reccomend it to 5 to 8 years old!
