April/May: Warrior Cats - Into the Wild by Erin Hunter

This month's read was Into the Wild, the first in the Warrior Cats (now rebranded as "Warriors") series by Erin Hunter.


Into the Wild tells the story of Rusty, an everyday housecat who discovers a whole new world outside his garden when he encounters the wild and fearsome Thunder Clan cats. Should he turn his back on his safe, easy life as a "kittypet" for the danger and excitement of the forest?

This is a thrilling read that keeps you turning the pages right to the end, and leaves you wanting more!

The Book Group gave it another unanimous thumbs up and everyone wanted to go on and read the other books in the series to find out what happens next!

Comments from the group:

"It was really enjoyable and fast-moving." - Lottie

"I got into it straight away." - Tabitha

"Anyone who doesn't like cats would love them after reading this book." - Naz

"It's the best book ever!" - Willow

Here are some pictures inspired by Into the Wild:

Looking forward...

This month we're looking forward to reading Gill Lewis' new book White Dolphin.


We fell in love with Gill's previous book, Sky Hawk, so we're eager to see if she can live up to our expectations; and if the reviews are anything to go by, it's looking good!


We also cannot wait for this year's Hay Festival, which begins at the end of May.


This year is the festival's 25th anniversary, and as it also coincides with the Queen's diamond jubilee, it's shaping up to be one big party!
We're hoping to discover some great new authors and revisit some old favourites. Several members of the book group are going to Hay, so look out for reviews next month.
