Wake Forest Reads: Sunrise by Erin Hunter

★★★ 3 stars

This is a great book. If you wanted to read it, you’d have to read earlier books in the series, but they’re great too. These books are about four clans of cats (Shadow Clan, Thunder Clan, River Clan, and Wind Clan) living together. It may sound strange but these books are very interesting. This book revolves around a big secret. If you want to find out what the secret is, read Warriors: Power of Three: Sunrise.
