WARRIORS: THE NEW PROPHECY #4 Starlight

Nanette Savard rises to the challenge of portraying a cast of emotional, adventurous, and ingenious characters, all of whom are cats. After many weary days of travel, the Clans have arrived in their new home, where they must establish territories and identify the many new dangers: "twolegs," "kitty pets," Sharptooth, and more. While pronouncing names like Squirrelflight, Ashfoot, Onewhisker, Brambleclaw, Leafpool, and Tawnypelt, Savard neither stumbles nor breaks her smooth pace. Her narration is crisp and clear, and she knows how amplify the drama by building tension. The relationships between the cats are complex and intriguing, and Savard's many fine voices add to the reality and credibility. S.C.A. © AudioFile 2006, Portland, Maine [Published: OCT/ NOV 06]
