Warriors: Series 5?

There has been much speculation about the fifth series of Warriors... Who will it feature? Will it be a continuation of Omen of the Stars? Will there even be fifth series?

There's good news for Warriors fans: HarperCollins has contacted Vicky, asking for another series. This series will most likely take place before Firepaw ever came to the forest -- before Bluestar -- all the way back to the "dawn of the Clans," according to Vicky.

No other details have been released -- but I'm very excited at the idea of series five!

Warrior Cat Trading Cards [Info/Pics]

I've had a lot of people asking about Warrior Cats trading cards. How do you get them? What cats are there? Why is Tigerstar so pudgy and cute? Okay... not really that last question, but I bet now you're wondering that too.

I've posted about these cards before, but I think they're so awesome that they deserve another mention. So... what are exactly are Warriors trading cards? They are little cards that come with the purchase of most Chinese Warriors books. A different card with each book. Each series features cards with cats from that series. The cards released so far are...

Warriors - Original Series: Firepaw, Bluestar, Tallstar, Graystripe, Tigerstar, and ThunderClan.

Warriors - The New Prophecy: Brambleclaw, Feathertail, Leafpaw, Onewhisker, Crowfeather, and Hawkfrost.

Warriors - The Power of Three: Hollypaw, Jaypaw, Lionpaw, Blackstar, Squirrelflight, and Breezepelt.

So far, no Omen of the Stars cards have been released.

(All in order with books. Into the Wild - Firepaw. Forest of Secrets - Tallstar. Etc. Click on a cat's name to view their card.)

Feathertail's Card...

There are two ways to get your paws on these awesome cards.

1. Go directly to China to purchase the books with cards included.

2. Purchase them off this website.

Unfortunately both require that you speak Chinese - and if you are like me, utterly hopeless at trying to decipher the strange symbols, then you're out of luck. :( I've found no other places (in English) where you can buy the books with trading cards, or just the cards.

Do you think America should have Warriors trading cards?

Doesn't Tigerstar look all fluffy and hug-able in his card? :3

Three New Warriors Titles!

Two new Warrior Cat books are to be released sometime in 2010. The books are titled: Allegiances of the Clans and Battles of the Clans. Not much is known about either other then the fact that they are akin to the books Cats of the Clans, Secrets of the Clans and the newly released Code of the Clans.

Allegiances of the Clans will focus on 'relationships' of the Clans. (does this mean alliances of the Clans or cats making up the Clans though?) I'm thinking it will be alliances and partnerships with other clans because Cats of the Clans covered the cats making up each Clan. Unless Erin Hunter wanted to brush over some more cats? What do you think?

Battles of the Clans will obviously focus on past battles. Perhaps old battles will be featured in this book, like fights over Sunningrocks from the old forest. Maybe some ThunderClan ShadowClan clashes?

Code of the Clans is about how each part of the Warrior Code came to be. Not to be confused with Secrets of the Clans.

So there you have it. Code of the Clans was released today (June 9th) and the other two titles will be out sometime in 2010.

As always, I'll keep you updated with all the latest details.

Chinese Trading Cards

For the die hard Warriors fan (that's all of us, right?) the Chinese have created a Warrior Cats Card Game. Yes, you read right, you can collect (foreign) Warrior Cats Trading Cards. Cool!

I'll post some pictures of the cards next. Pretty cool, right? If you buy a chinese Warrior Cat book, sometimes trading cards come with it.

The most of the cats look waaaaaaaaay different from the American/Canadian versions, though Brambleclaw looks pretty much the same. On the right you can see several cats from the Clans, Firestar, (ginger tom) Brambleclaw, (solid brown tabby with green eyes, next to Firestar on bottom) and Greystripe (fluffy grey cat besides Brambleclaw with yellow eyes, short ears and white chest.) are among the cats on the front of the trading card pack.

Pictures coming next!

Code of the Clans

Warriors Code of the Clans is a brand-new Warriors book coming out on June 9th, o9.

This new book will tell the previously untold stories of the past... Questions will be answered, stories will be told and secrets will be reviled!

On the cover, you can see the leaders of all four Clans, Blackstar, (white tom with black paws) Firestar, (Ginger tom), Tallstar, (black-and-white tom) and Leopardstar. (Spotted gold-and-white she-cat)

Unfortunately not many details about this book have be released...It looks like it will be telling stories of when the Clans lived in the forest, since Tallstar is present and Onestar is not.

If you look closely, you can see that Tallstar's eye color is wrong. In the books, Tallstar is described as a black and white tom with amber eyes. This cover depicts him with greenish eyes...in fact all the leaders (except for Firestar) have the wrong color eyes. They are described in the books as having amber eyes. yet their eyes are green or blue. Hmmm....

Blackstar almost looks like Cloudtail. He's so cute and cuddly looking! ^.^

Tadpole Theory...

There have been a lot of speculations lately about Tadpole, the sibling of Hawkfrost and Mothwing, kit of Tigerstar. We all know that Tadpole never joined the Clans, nor was he ever mentioned in the Warriors books. In fact, the Sasha manga series was the first we'd ever heard of him. Imagine, another Tigerstar kit floating around all this time...

Eek.

Perhaps the most logical theory is that Tadpole died, persuading Sasha to take her remaining kits, Hawk and Moth, to the Clans for shelter. This would make sense. Sasha is a some-what stubborn cat and the death of one of her kits would surely persuade her to bring the others to the safety of RiverClan. (RiverClan is farthest from ShadowClan. Maybe Sasha thought her kits would be safer there.)

Another popular theory is that Tadpole went to live with Sasha, and we haven't seen the last of him yet. Maybe Tigerstar haunts his dreams. Or maybe Tigerstar doesn't even know Tadpole exists. If so then a plot must be brewing. Maybe Tadpole will return to the Clans and seal up Tigerstar for good. Or maybe...Tadpole is the new enemy...

Hmm...

Erin Hunter has us on the edge of our seats waiting for the next book.
