Allegiances are shifting among the Clans of warrior cats that roam the forest. With tensions so delicately balanced, former friends can become enemies overnight, and some cats are willing to kill to get what they want. Fireheart is determined to find out the truth about the mysterious death of brave ThunderClan warrior Redtail. But as he searches for answers, he uncovers secrets that some believe would be better left hidden.
Toto je pravdepodobne prvý "detský horor" vôbec (ak sem nerátame, povedzme... Červenú čiapočku). V príbehu malého chlapca, ktorého čarodejnice premenia na myš, zažijete scény, pri ktorých tuhne krv v žilách, no i množstvo komických situácií. Koniec príbehu je prekvapujúci. Vzťah babičky a vnuka, začarovaného do zvieracej podoby, vás určite dojme a azda vám i trochu pomôže v hľadaní odpovede na otázku, čo je v ľudskom živote dôležité a čo nie. Za tento neodolateľne originálny príbeh, ktorý bol i sfilmovaný, získal Roald Dahl, ktorého dnes už netreba ani slovenským čitateľom predstavovať, prestížnu literárnu cenu Whitbread Award.
