Warrior Cats Series

by
(68 reviews)

Warrior Cats is a gripping series of books about the adventures of competing clans of wild cats, for readers 9+. These thrilling feline fantasy adventures are full of battles, action, treachery and cliff-hangers.

Written by several authors under the pseudonym of Erin Hunter, there are over 40 Warrior Cats books in the universe. Warriors began with The Prophecies Begin series which follows the adventures of the ThunderClan as epic battles for territory and honour are played out amongst the wild cats. 

There are six books in the original The Prophecies Begin series, but the cats’ adventures continue in the other Warriors sub-series (see all eight Warriors series in order below). There are also four series of Warrior Cats manga.

It doesn’t matter if you read the books out of order, but if you want to start at the beginning, Warrior Cats book one is Into the Wild - the story of how Rusty a house-cat (or kitty-pet) joins ThunderClan after an epic battle with a wild cat.

Fans can also enjoy Warrior cats games, quizzes and more on the website, as well as a Warrior Cats’ clans family tree (warning: contains spoilers!).
