Summary

“There will be three,
Kin of you kin….
Who hold the
Power of the stars
In their paws.”

A secret prophecy shapes the lives of Firestar’s grandchildren, but only one of the three knows about it. Jaypaw is captivated by the power it promises, and he believes the key to that power may lie buried in the distant past — with the ancient cats who once walked these woods and now prowl through his dreams. His search for answers leads him toward the mountains — the home of the Tribe of Rushing Water. Lionpaw and Hollypaw feel drawn to the mountains too, for different reasons.

But the mountains hide secrets as well as answers, and if the three cats find a way to get there, they may discover more than they ever expected.

Review

This was an exceptional book in the Warrior Series term. There was a mini journey, there was a big battle, there were unexpected secrets that were reveled. I learned things about the Tribe that I did not know before. And if you do not know who the tribe is you have to read the series where they have the great journey. I think that this book was pretty good, one of the best.I would not read it again, but there is only one reason why. It is because this series is so big. If it was smaller like the Alex Rider series, I would read it again. Hope you all like the book.

I just had to get this book reviewed before the movie comes out!

Summary

*Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III was truly extraordinary Viking Hero, Warrior chieftain, awesome sword-fighter, and amateur naturalist. He was known throughout Vikingdom as “the Dragon Whisperer,” on account of his power over the terrifying beasts.

But is wasn’t always like that………….

*This summary is from the back of the book. It was copied just so you know.

Review

At a glance this book seems dull and boring because there is a lot of red on the front and a green thing. But once you take the time to study it you see the green this is actually a dragon and the front looks like an old diary and has claw marks on it. The pages are frayed to look old and ragged and the illustrations are juvenile.  Someone inexperienced like Hiccup. But after reading it it became my favorite books a couple of years ago. This book is about how Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III and his dragon became famous (in a way.) He was the son the the Viking Warrior Chief so he had to honor his fathers position and match him. Then the day came when they had to choose their dragon from the cave. Hiccup choose this really baby-ish one and everyone made fun of him even his father. They did this because they did not think the dragon could do much. But how wrong they were. Toothless (the dragon) saved Hiccup’s life and after that the dragon was not ever looked at as a little baby. She (yes Toothless is a female) was in a way kind of fierce and brave.

The book has other little bits to it but if I told you them I would give the whole book away because the book is not extremely big.

I really have to say that this book was really good and I know that I say that about a lot of books (that is my nature) but this one was extraordinary. It was out of the world. I have to say I give it 2 tails, I, I mean thumbs up.

Review

This book was nothing like the first one which was The Lost Years Of Merlin. This book is packed with action, adventure, romance, and hatred. There is one scene when there is a lot of blood mentioned though. This book is amazingly good and you want to read more. For one whole day I read it because I was nearing the end and that is when all your question are answered. There are still many other books after this on,  but right now after reading three, I think this one was my favorite. This book is for the ages of 10-12 and the grades 4-6.
