|A companion of the more popular ''Warriors'' series, this book series containing two arcs of six books tells of three North American bears ([[polar bear]] Kallik, [[American black bear]] Lusa, and [[grizzly bear]] Toklo) as they journey with a shapeshifting grizzly bear cub named Ujurak as they try to save the wild from being ruined. The series portrays a more heavy environmental message than ''Warriors'', with heavy emphasis on how humans are causing the animals to suffer such as the typical arc of polar bears suffering from melting ice. ''The Last Wilderness'' - the fourth book of the first arc - seems to condemn capitalism by portraying most of the people in favor of drilling oil in the arctic as either evil or stupid, and the sixth and final book in the same arc - ''Spirits in the Stars'' - also has a moment of [[ecoterrorism]] near the end, the animals destroying an oil drill and portraying it at the right thing to do. The second and final arc - ''Return to the Wild'' - is tamer in condemning humans compared to the first arc (such as when Lusa ends up being briefly cared for in an animal sanctuary in ''The Burning Horizon''), though some of it still comes up.

|A violent revolution leads to the overthrow of the American government, a nuclear war, and finally, a race war perpetrated by white supremacists. The [[Southern Poverty Law Center]] calls it the "bible of the racist right", while failing to realize that racism is a historical and current problem of the political Left, not the right. It inspired [[Timothy McVeigh]]'s Oklahoma City Bombing due to it resembling the book's bombing of the FBI headquarters (contrary to liberal reports, however, the racist elements in the book played no role in the bombing).

|This 13-books-and-counting series chronicles the lives, prophecies, and wars of seven kingdoms of dragons on the continent of Pyrrhia. While family and friendship are portrayed mostly well, the series has taken a more left-leaning turn in its later books. Homosexuality is sprinkled here and there in the second arc (with one female dragon liking another female for no reason at all), until the thirteenth book: ''The Poison Jungle'', where Sundew the LeafWing falls in love with another female dragon and doesn't stop thinking about it. Moral relativism is portrayed as right in the series; an example of that in ''Winter Turning'' has Moonwatcher justifying Icicle's terrorist attack on Jade Mountain Academy by saying that no dragon is really evil and that she was feeling unloved. There is also a feeling of feminism throughout the series, where queens and princesses hold a lot of power in their kingdoms with the kings being only second-in-command.
