    Honorable Finalist, Level I Grace Sugaski Letter to author “Erin Hunter” (authors Victoria Holmes, Kate Cary, Cherith Baldry, Gillian Philip, Inbali Iserles, Tui T. Sutherland, and Rosie Best) concerning Bluestar’s Prophecy Dear “Erin Hunter:” In your book Bluestar’s Prophecy, I knew right away, when Bluestar’s character was introduced, that she was a noble and fair leader. She offered Rusty a place in her clan because of her shortage of warriors. I thought that was a very wise decision. I always wished I could be as calm and wise as Bluestar. Little did I know about her sad and troubled past. As I read your book, I felt like I could relate to her character as she was growing up. Bluestar’s Prophecy reminded me of the quote “Be kind, for everyone is fighting their own battles.” I try to be more patient, which all of the Warriors books have reminded me, as I face my own battles. I lost my mom in 2013. I blamed myself because I thought I could have said goodbye or visited her one more time. I felt lonely. I am an only child, and my dad has since remarried. A lot of times, to this day, I feel lonely, and that my family doesn’t love me very much. I am not used to the treatment that is much less gentle than what I received from my mother. This is kind of like how Bluestar’s father never paid her and her sister much attention. It is miraculous how well Bluestar turned out as a warrior and as a character.

  • Victoria Holmes Cherith Baldry
    As you may have heard, Erin Hunter is actually six people! She is experienced children’s book writers Victoria Holmes, Cherith Baldry, Kate Cary, Tui Sutherland, Gillian Philip and Inbali Iserles. Victoria Holmes I grew up on a farm and love all animals, including cats, but most especially dogs and horses. This comes in very handy when I need to send cats to a sticky end—I'd have a lot more trouble killing off a dog or a horse! I love being one of the Erins, and frequently dream of being a cat running through a forest when I am coming up with new story lines. Teaming up with Kate and Cherith on the Warriors books is an unconventional way of working, but we love writing the books together and it means we can produce them much faster than a single writer could. We each have our favorite characters and ideas for what could happen next, which means the stories have three times as much energy and passion Cherith Baldry I grew up on a farm, so of course I grew up with cats—working cats who kept down the mice in the house and barns, but were still friendly house cats who would play and curl up on a lap. My first cat after I married was a grey tabby called Tomlyn. We acquired him while we were out in Africa, teaching at the University of Sierra Leone. He was part Siamese, part African bush cat, and one of the friendliest cats I've ever known. When we came back to the UK we brought him with us; although he had to stay in quarantine for six months, he didn't forget us, and when we went to visit him he climbed all over us, shedding hair and purring like mad! My next cat was called Schrodinger, after the Austrian physicist—my husband Peter was a scientist.

Beautiful Companion to the Novels - Buy the HardcoverBy AThis is a beautifully made companion piece to the novels. The pictures are gorgeous, and the book itself is well made. I'm not going to spoil the stories, but there are battles that someone who has read all the books will remember and battles from long ago in the Clans' histories.All of the vignettes make the most of what works best in the Warriors books: the action sequences. The fights are well-written and exciting, and I was amazed at how quickly I cared about the characters who were new to me.
