This book Warriors Midnight by Erin Hunter is a HUGE adventure book. It all starts out with Brambleclaw having the weirdest dream ever. Brambleclaw dreamed of Bluestar telling him that a new prophecy will come, new dangers will ruin the forest, and that him and three other cats must head out on a journey and wait for Midnight. So, at the next gathering Brambleclaw told sister Tawnypaw, about his dream and Tawnypaw ended up having the same dream to, but Nightstar told her everything Bluestar told Brambleclaw to her. But, Tawnypaw told Brambleclaw that Nightstar told her that they would meet the other two cats at Fourtrees on the new moon to plan out their journey to save the forest. I recomend this book to ages 9 – 12, and this book is 12 points. So read this book Warriors Midnight by Erin Hunter to see if the forest will be saved.

 Prilla lives in Pixie Hollow, like all the other fairies, but she was still different. You see, all fairies have their special talent, such as berry-picking talent fairies who pick berries every day so delivering talent fairies can deliver it to cooking talent fairies, and there are tons of fairies with the same talent. However, Prilla is the only “clapping talent fairy”. She often gets lonely because fairies hang out with fairies of the same talent. Still, Prilla hangs out with other fairies. She would even try out their jobs. For example, she’ll try to help Dulcie, a cooking talent fairy, in the kitchen. But, nomatter what she tries she is awful at it all. Then after lying about loving butterflies, she is put on the job of butterfly herding. Only butterfly herding talent fairies are good at that! She either has to do it or fess up about lying.

She decides to do it.

It isn’t going so well.

Will she have to fess up to the Queen? Will she fail her job?
