Best Book Series Ever!

This book is the first in a series of 70+. The Warriors series is one of my absolute favorite books, and I have recommended it to all of my friends! If you are looking for a series filled with action, adventure, tragedy, and mystery, look no further. Warriors is all that and more! I don't even know how to begin describing the plot. The main character of the first six books is Rusty, an ordinary house cat who joins ThunderClan, one of the four clans of wild warrior cats. His name is changed to Firepaw, and he soon finds himself in the middle of a plot against the leader of ThunderClan. The series has a dramatic ending, and I like the way everything wraps up. I would recommend this series for 5th grade and up. There is a considerable amount of violence and bloodshed, and a lot of cats die. The series is set up in groups of six books, like a series within a series., Into the Wild is the first book of the first series. (After reading Into the Wild, you will need the other books in the mini series: Fire and Ice, Forest of Secrets, Rising Storm, A Dangerous Path, and The Darkest Hour) This series is a must-read for any book lover! (Note: If you like Warriors, the author writes a bunch of other great series: Survivors, Seekers, Bravelands, and Bamboo Kingdom) (Other Note: If you like Warriors, there are a bunch of awesome quizzes and articles on warriorcats.com)

This is my favorite book series, ever.

This series is my favorite of all time and the books that made me fall in love with reading in the 5th grade. I almost have all of them now, I still need 22 out of the whole series.

Came Quick and In Almost Perfect Condition

I had expected it to take longer to come but it took 5 days and when I opened the package up I expected it to be a little dented or scratched but it was basically brand new! There was a dent in the cover but I had expected that because I didn't order it new.

From a simple housecat to an honorable warrior

As the first in this great series, Into The Wild is an incredibly well-written and captivating read. Our protagonist Rusty, whom is later renamed Firepaw, leaves the comfort and security of his life as a regular housecat to join one the many clans of wild cats to live freely. This book lets us follow along with Firepaw's growth as both a clan member and a character, with many challenges and tribulations he must overcome that come his way now that he has chosen to live this feral life. Although a book about talking cats may seem childish, the plot is lively and intense, sure to hook in a reader of any age. If you're looking for a new series to fall in love with, then make sure to add this to your cart! If you're looking for more series like this one, I'd recommend you check of Kathryn Lasky's "Wolves of the Beyond" and Tui Sutherland's "Wings of Fire" series.

You'll Be Giving Your Cat Some Strange Looks

INTO THE WILD is the first volume of a large series of books in which writer Erin Hunter has conjured up an amazing world of feral cat tribes which struggle for survival literally right outside your own backyard! The saga begins here with Rusty, a domestic cat (or as wild cats call them, "kittypets") who longs to be out on his own, free, eating what he kills, sleeping where he wants. One night, while exploring the nearby woods, he encounters members of ThunderClan, one of four feline tribes that struggle with each other for dominance of the area. Treated with contempt and hostility in the beginning, Rusty proves himself by fighting for ThunderClan in their war against the aggressive ShadowClan. Renamed Firepaw, he is accepted into the tribe to become one of their fiercest warriors. This action-packed but intelligent book and subsequent volumes have delighted children, fantasy readers and cat lovers of all ages.
