Book Description

Age Level: 10 and up | Grade Level: 5 and up | Series: Warriors: Power of Three, Book 1

There will be three, kin of your kin . . .

The wild cats have flourished in their new home on the banks of the lake for several seasons, and the Clans are growing strong and healthy with new kits. The time has come for three kits of ThunderClan to become apprentices.

Hollypaw, Jaypaw, and Lionpaw spring from a strong legacy: children of Squirrelflight and Brambleclaw, two of the noblest ThunderClan warriors, and grandchildren of the great leader Firestar himself. All three young cats possess unusual power and talent and seem certain to provide strength to the Clan for the next generation.

But there are dark secrets around the three, and a mysterious prophecy hints at trouble to come. An undercurrent of rage is rising against those who are not Clanborn, and the warrior code is in danger of being washed away by a river of blood. All the young cats' strength will be needed if the Clans are to survive.

. . . who hold the power of the stars in their paws.

Editorial Reviews

From Booklist

The popular Warriors fictional empire continues unabated, with the Power of Three series now beginning after the end of the New Prophecy series. It takes more than four pages to list the clans, their members, and various allegiances in Hunter's remarkably complex fictional world, but this tale focuses on three kits—Hollypaw, Jaypaw and Lionpaw, offspring of two strong members of the Thunderclan. Each kit has a special strength or talent (and in one case, a disability), and each must struggle to find and fufill its destiny. As in previous books, personal tensions are juxtaposed against dangers from the outside. Plenty of action and solid characterizations make this an enticing choice for fans of the long-running enterprise. Cooper, Ilene

5.0 out of 5 stars the Warriors come roaring back, April 26, 2007

This review is from: The Sight (Warriors: Power of Three, Book 1) (Hardcover)

though i loved The New Prophecy, i had to say that the original flare of the novels died down in Twilight. but now, Hunter has gone back to her original roots and produce The Sight, the first book in the new series that brings back the old charm of the original Warriors books. it has been a few moons since the events of Sunset and the clans have finally begun to settle in there new lake home. Jaykit, Hollykit, and Lionkit all have some pretty big paws to fill. they are the grandchildren of the legendary Thunderclan leader Firestar and the offspring of Brambleclaw and Squirrleflight. it is only a matter of time until they become full fledged apprentices. the interesting thing is, each one of the kits seem to possess a strange power that manifests itself diffrently in each kit and it seems these powers will be put to the test. unbenoust to them, a dark force is stirring. a threat aimed against those not clan-born but what? what is this new evil that threatens the forest? it is only a matter of time until it strikes. Hunter wastes no time in getting us familier with the new characters and even in the first couple of chapters throws in some surprises and delectible conflicts. it truley is a rebirth of the series and the end only promises more to come. a great first entry into a already great series, a must for all Warrior fans.

5.0 out of 5 stars Magnificent New Series--SPOILER ALERT, May 13, 2007

A Kid's Review

This review is from: The Sight (Warriors: Power of Three, Book 1) (Hardcover)

Hollypaw, Jaypaw, and Lionpaw come out of the strong legacy of Squirrelflight and Brambleclaw's children. It is interesting to follow the main character's of the first series of warriors grandchildren around in the new territory. Firestar, the noble sleek ruler of ThunderClan, once a mere kittypet, is the grandfather of the three apprentices. Yet the don't have only good in their blood. Brambleclaw's father was Tigerstar, the ambitious traitor who last resided in ShadowClan.

Jaypaw is a blind gray tom with feather blue eyes, who thinks he is worthless. When Brightheart, a sweet, but one-eyed she-cat is appointed his mentor for a warrior, he thinks even lower of himself. He realizes he can see other cats in their dreams. Then he learns his destiny is to be a medicine cat. He becomes Leafpool's apprentice as a medicine cat.

Hollypaw is a bright black she cat with green eyes. She origionally wants to be a medicine cat but she realizes that she is not cut out to do so, but is fantastic at battling and fight moves. She has not shown any affection to any cats, so readers have no clue on any future mates.

Lionpaw is a ginger tom with amber eyes like his father and Tigerstar. He is bright. Lionpaw is a little conceited at some point, but all in all he is pretty nice.

This new edition to the warriors series is amazing and something all fans should look foward to reading more of.

I am 54 yrs. old and a grandmother. A year ago I was unemployed and was at the bookstore and they had one of the Warrior Cat books on display up front. I am a huge cat/dog lover and I foster cats for a local rescue. Well, I couldn't put these books down. I bought one after another. I hadn't been to the bookstore in awhile as I am working again. Last night I bought The Sight and I can hardly wait to read it this weekend. I'm addicted and I know this book will be just as good as the first. For young and old alike...read The Warrior Cat books....they are delightful!!! Kudos to Erin Hunter for providing an intermediate book series so entertaining to adults...I am reminded of the years I spent in Study Hall reading horse and dog books and I still cry when anything sad happens!!
