Wonderful Book

I read this book from the library recently and I absolutely loved it. It has everything a book should have. It gives Warriors a run for its money, although I'm pretty sure that this was influenced by Warriors. I'm hoping for sequels to this book so that it becomes a whole series. The two factions of cats that have been warring for millenia going all the way back to Ancient Egypt and Nubia was a great premise to base the book on. It also attempts to explain the mysterious light in cats' eyes. I recommend this book to everyone. :)

I love this book

This book is great. I love cats and also adventure stories and this is the best of both. Before I read this, Warriors were my favorite books but this is even better. Mati the hero comes to England from a far off land and meets the cats of Cressida lock. They don't trust him at first and then scary things start to happen. I won't say to much more except that this book is AWESOME and any kid who loves cats will love this.
