Warriors: Into the Wild/Erin Hunter/272 pages

Into the Wild is the first book of the Warriors series by English authour Erin Hunter.  It follows the journey of Firepaw (formerly known by his old name Rusty), who is a housecat seeking more out of his life by leaving his old home for the wild.  He first encounters three cats from a group called "ThunderClan", one of the four cat "Clans."  Firepaw joins ThunderClan, and he spends most of the time training to become a "warrior" (a cat who is older than six moons who can fight and hunt), building trust among his Clanmates (wildcats have something against housecats, and a few of them believe Firepaw to be "soft" for being born one), and making his own moral code by taking care of an outsider and protecting his friends from an unjust deputy of ThunderClan.  I've really enjoyed this book and would recommend it to anyone who is curious about this series-- after all, it is the first book!
