Hello Russ! I am a fan of Warrior Cats, and I wanted to see if you have any articles on the author Erin Hunter.
108092790

My kids also loved the Warrior Cats books! However, Erin Hunter is not a real person. Lots of different writers work on the Warrior Cats series. "Erin Hunter" is a name to describe the group of authors.

Why did Roblox start the age verification thing? it has affected many of the players, who have no way of communicating with others.
Sheila

Hi, Sheila! That's a good question. Ryan wrote about that in "Roblox Adds Age Checks" on January 8. The company wants to keep kids safe by making sure they can only chat with people close to their age. The system also helps parents keep an eye on their child's activity in the app. Online safety is important!
Russ

Hello, Russ!!! Can you make more stories about snakes? I really love snakes.

Did Nivida stock go up this year?
Jaxgia483

Nivida went up a lot in 2025. It climbed from about $140 to $190 per share. But so far in 2026 the value of Nvidia stock has not gone up. It has dropped a few dollars, in fact.
Russ

I like ducks.

Hi, Russ. Who was the first astronaut to step foot on a planet?
Paislee

No human has ever been to another PLANET, Paislee! The first person to walk on the MOON was American astronaut Neil Armstrong. He stepped onto the lunar surface on July 20, 1969. The Moon isn't a planet. But scientists hope to send astronauts to the planet Mars in the future! 🚀
Russ

What do you think about the protest in London for Iran?
Arthur

I think it's always a great idea to look closely at where protests are happening and what people are asking for, Arthur! This can help you better understand conflicts in the world. Protestors recently gathered in London, England. They support people who are speaking out against their government in Iran. Similar gatherings have been in Paris, France and Berlin, Germany. Check out our recent article, "Massive Protests in Iran."

My favorite color is blue because it is my mom's favorite color.

Hi Russ. How many people got the flu?
Calvin

Hi, Calvin. That's a good question. The latest report from the CDC says that around 11 million Americans have gotten the flu so far this season. That is an estimate, since not everyone who gets sick goes to the doctor or gets treatment. You can read about that in "Five Tips to Fight the Flu" from January 6!
