title: Survivors: The Gathering Darkness #3: Into the Shadows
author:  Erin Hunter 
description: PRAISE FOR SURVIVORS: Hunter expertly explores the tensions between responsibility and freedom; risk and safety; and loyalty and acceptance. Viewing the unfolding adventure through Luckys eyes makes even the most mundane or familiar seem alive with magic. Wild and wonderful adventure for middle-graders. (Kirkus Reviews <strong>(starred review)</strong>)<br /><br />Well-rounded characters, deep folklore and difficult problems without obvious answers drive the story. These dogs are not just loyal human companions, but warriors, leaders and friends. Perfectly crafted. (Kirkus Reviews <strong>(starred review)</strong>)<br /><br />Young readers will find plenty to like here, from the fast-moving plot, to the characterizations of individual dogs. A promising start for the many fans of the Warriors and Seekers adventure series. (ALA Booklist)
