Warriors Book I: Into the Wild

The main cat is Firepaw or Rusty (Rusty is his "kitty-pet" name; Firepaw is his Thunderclan name). One day, Rusty goes out into the woods to hunt for mice and runs into some cats (meow!) instead. He finds out that many other cats live in the big world near his house! In all there are 4 warrior-cat clans: Riverclan, Windclan, Shadowclan, and Thunderclan, which Rusty joins that same day.

My favorite clan is Thunderclan because they live in the forest: healthier land = healthier clan. Well, if I were a Warrior that's the clan I would want to be in. I'd rather eat bunnies and mice than diseased animals and rats! Yuck.

Unlike in the Redwall books, there are humans in the Warriors books. Cats call humans Twolegs. Warriors don't usually trust the kitty-pet cats that live with Twolegs; Rusty has to work hard to earn their trust. In the end, he proves himself worthy. In fact, it is Firepaw upon whom an important prophecy rests: Firepaw must save Thuderclan from danger!
