Whisper later comes up with the idea to lead a giantfur to the Fierce Dogs' lair after Whine told the Fierce Dogs about their plan. At first Twitch disagrees, but Whisper convinces him that they should help Storm since she freed them from Terror, their former Alpha. After she leaves, the dogs talk to Whisper and learn that he is a member of Twitch's Pack. Snap, Lucky, Storm, and Daisy help in rescuing him by looking submissive as to not threaten the giantfur. Lucky assures her that it isn't necessary, as when Twitch became Alpha of his Pack there was no aggression, because all of the Pack wanted him to lead.Īfter another Big Growl, Whisper's tail gets trapped underneath a fallen tree.
Whisper is mentioned again, though unnamed, after Alpha's supposed death, when Daisy frets that if the Pack needs an Alpha, that dogs must fight for it.
When some of the Wild Pack members protest, Splash tells them that Terror is gone and they might now be a real Pack, and several of his Packmates whine in agreement.Īfter Twitch becomes Alpha of the Pack, all the dogs surge toward him, congratulating him, nuzzling him, and barking. Twitch tells the Wild Pack that he wants to stay with those dogs as they are his Pack now. When Splash says that they think he should stay, Whisper yips that he belongs with them, and paws at the ground. Twitch approaches his former Packmates and touches his nose to theirs. The Wild Pack are wary at seeing Terror's Pack, but Twitch's Packmates throw their forepaws on the ground, wag their tails, and dip their heads submissively. History In the Original Series The Endless Lake Īlthough Whisper is not mentioned by name, when Terror's Pack follows Twitch, he, along with five other dogs creep out from under a bush after Splash greets Twitch. It should also be noted that this series walks a line between opposing war and using violent battle to engage the reader.Whisper was a loyal, loving, kind dog. There are descriptions of cuts and injuries that are tempered for middle-graders, but some sensitive cat lovers could find them too scary. Cats engage in wars and battles, fought with claws and teeth, in which some characters are wounded or killed. Parallels can be drawn between the clans (which think and feel like humans) and human cultures, making these books an excellent point of departure for discussion about cultural differences and prejudice. All of the books take place in a world of cat characters that belong to different "clans" that have different talents, abilities, and loyalties. If your child is into these books, they offer years' worth of reading to enjoy. Parents need to know that the original series of Warriors books, first published in 2003, has grown to spawn four spin-off series of novels ( The New Prophecy, Power of Three, Omen of the Stars and Dawn of the Clans), as well as other limited series and one-offs.
