My daughter (currently 8) is slowly starting the main Warriors novel series, in part thanks to the manga. These are a great lead-in to get reluctant readers hooked on the world and the characters and ease them into reading the novels.My daughter has read all the Warriors graphics, but this one in particular seemed to really catch her interest. She sat and read it straight through in a single day, something she rarely does. For that alone I would recommend it!
this is the first in a trilogy of warrior mangas that I favor. (then again, I favor all of the mangas!!!)anyway......ravenpaw is a thunderclan apperentice who branches out from the clans because of tigerclaw, (tigerstar)whom supposedly wants to kill him. Ravenpaw now lives on a peaceful farm with his friend, Barley. They have a good life there untill something very suprising happens... (WARNING: SPOILERS)A group of rouges has found their farm and has requested to stay for a while while one of their cats has kits. Ravenpaw warmley welcomes the visitors, but barley sees something suspisis. suspishish. (I HATE SPELLLING!!!!!!) anyway.........barley notices one of the cats trying to teach the young kits a deathlock battle move, and knows that these cats are from....(this may or may not suprise you...) BLOODCLAN!!! soon after, the rouges leave the farm, to find a new life. Ravenpaw and barley are very happy of that. when they are walking along the rafters a few nights later, they are shocked to see THE ROUGES.it turns ito a warzone as the rouges jump down into the chicken coop and kill a lot of poultry. the rouges flee, leaving ravenpaw and barley in the midst of the crime scene. the twolegs catch them, and they run into the rouges and have a battle. the rouges lose the battle, ravenpaw and barley return to the farm and sleep the night. Only to find out that a fire is about to burn the barn to the ground. they flee, walk a really long time and end up at the moonstone. they are met by starclan whom tells them to go to thunderclan and get help.in short....I love this book.XDwcrtf(warrior cats rule the forest!)
I'm proud but slightly embarrassed to say that I'm an adult Warriors fan! Love these books and Ravenpaw's one of my favorites!
Even though the warrior series is aimed at children; nevertheless, I found the concept of warrior cat clans very intriguing. This 90 page graphic novel (Ravenpaw’s Path: Shattered by Erin Hunter) is the third book I have read of this warrior series. Like any good novel there must be conflict, tragedy, and character development. This book begins on a happy note with Ravenpaw and his best friend Barley waking up in the barn at a farm.They love living with an older couple and the two dogs on the farm. They are free to roam around and there are always plenty of mice to hunt and other prey around for them to eat. The quiet and peaceful life is interrupted when a cat named Willie, along with his mate, Minty who also happens to be expecting kits soon, and three other cats named Snapper, Pounce and Tess ask Ravenpaw if they could come into the barn for a while. They wind up staying long after the kittens are born. Ravenpaw being the gracious and trusting cat hunted and got the visiting cats food during their stay. Barley did not trust the visiting cats, but Ravenpaw was fascinated by the kittens and ignored the warning signs.I never give away too much information when reviewing a novel because it spoils it for the reader. There are some interesting and disturbing twists and turns in this graphic novel and I found this story a compelling read and quickly finished the book. If you are a fan of the warrior series you should check out this page turning graphic novel.Rating: 5 Stars. Joseph J.

My kids just love the animal stories. In this book, Ravenpaw has settled into life on the farm, and he is happy to be far away from the forest and evil Tigerstar's presence. Ravenpaw knows that leaving the clan life was right for him, but he also realizes that it might not be the right choice for all the clan cats. He loves his peaceful days and quiet nights with his best friend, Barley-cat. But the action starts wen five other cats came to the barn seeking shelter. Ravenpaw is worried that the cats will stay and take away his new home. What will then happen to Barley and him.If you like animal adventure and action then you will love this book, too.
I bought this book for my daughter. She is a top reader at her school. In fact, when she was 10, she was tested at entry-level college level for reading. She loves the action, twists-and-turns, details and adventure of the Warriors series. I recommend this book for your children who are 10 and up who love an action-packed novel.
My 11-year-old son is an avid Warriors fan, and I have been enjoying the series very much as well. We had one of the Warriors Super Edition books with a short Manga section in the back and my son loved that version of the story. It's not really my thing, but he found seeing the cats to be a great new twist on how the stories are being told. Ravenpaw has been his favorite character ever since Into the Wild, so we bought this as his first full manga book. I thought it would be a good way to pass the time on a dreary winter weather day, and it was, sort of. He said he really enjoyed the story, although the scene with chicks being killed was a little intense according to him, but he was finished in less than half an hour. I'm all about buying books and the fact that he loves this series means we're investing some serious money in it with all the books coming out. However, it's a little disappointing to pay the same price for 30 minutes of reading by comparison with the books that at least provide a few days of entertainment. If you've got a Warriors fan in your house, they may really enjoy this format, but beware it will be a quick read.
