I have just started the series for a 4th time. I am reading them because number 6 is in theaters soon and it is PG. This one is the shortest by far. The author uses good word choice and in every chapter something exciting happens.

I rate this book *****

This book is the funniest book I've ever read so far.
It is about when these little creatures called Gigglers

Then, when a parent torchers their children, they set up
the poo in the perfect spot for the parent steps in it.

Tonight our Grandma took us and our cousin to a bookstore so we could meet Erin Hunter. She told us about the new book and what other Warrior books will be named. She read from Eclipse, it has the longest battle in Warriors. She said she was getting married after the tour. She is the real author of Warriors, the other ones are co-authors. Her real name is Victoria Holmes. She's from England. She writes her stories with a purple pen and her wedding dress is purple too. She said she didn't have an accent, we did. She told us how she came up with Seekers.

I didn't like this series because there isn't any actiony stuff. Its only about working together. Every book in the series is. Every book should be different things.
