Into the Wild by Erin Hunter

Into the Wild by Erin Hunter

A rich and exciting feline fantasy world in which epic battles for territory and honour are played out, perfect for fans of Brian Jacques’ Redwall series.

When ‘kittypet’ Rusty strays into the forest beyond his owner’s garden and is ambushed by a wild cat, life as he knows it is over.

After a brave fight, he is invited to leave the ‘twoleg’ world and join ThunderClan, one of four cat tribes, to train as a warrior.

Rusty becomes Firepaw and learns laws of the wild – hunting and fighting to protect the clan’s survival.

When the fearsome ShadowClan threaten ThunderClan’s territory his warrior skills are put to the test. But how can he protect the clan when he suspects their own deputy of treachery?

Warriors Into The Wild is the best book I've read in agesIt's really exciting and it's got lots of humour too! Even better than Brian Jaques’ Redwall. I can't wait for the next one!

Erin Hunter is actually three people! She is experienced children's book writers Kate Cary, Cherith Baldry and Victoria Holmes who all live in the UK. Vicky comes up with the story ideas and makes sure the books stay consistent and Kate and Cherith take it in turns to write the books. They came up with the single name, Erin Hunter, to avoid confusing their readers by having books from the same series in different places on the bookshelf.
