This book was so interesting! It really made you think about what wild cats do! There are many series and special editions to go with the 1st series so if you really, really, love it like I do, you will have PLENTY to read afterwords. The characters are very diverse, and have many sides to them. Sometimes they seem mean, reckless, and uncaring, while other times they are heroes! Some say this book is for kids, but it is NOT. I would not recommend this for anyone under 12. It has so much love, death, and sadness, that if they are younger, they may not be able to handle it. Trust me, whatever age you are, you will ADORE this book (and the others) for years to come.

I agree, have you read all 4 series?

Its the first start of the book, just more cool

i love it so much but vary brutal tho

To all of you who like cats, adventure, and a little bit of suspense, you should read this book!! ;). It starts when an ordinary house cat named Rusty ventures beyond his ordinary life, and fence into the wild. He is taken into 1 of the 4 clans in the forest. And that’s just the beginning!! All in all, THIS BOOK IS AWESOME!!!!

this book was one of the best books I have ever read!!!!!1

It's all because of a cat named Rusty walking around finding Graypaw. That causing the sad and unfortunate Final Battle in the end of the 4th series getting himself killed. Wow! Great job Firestar, uhhh . . . Fireheart doesn't become leader or anything! He he . . . ha ha . . . Okay fine Fireheart becomes leader. . . .

Rusty walks around finding Graypaw. If he didn't find Graypaw Dovewing, Lionblaze, and Jayfeather wouldn't have been born therefore no Final Battle in the end of the books taking the lives of many cats including himself. "Hey Rusty! You gotta stay in your little twoleg nest so no evil cats reap your soul."

you should get ur paws on it

Good pun!! 😉

So I first got interested in the series when my friend got the book, and saw one of my favorite you tubers take an interest to it. I found this in my school's library and I loved the book. I loved the characters and everything! Though it's confusing in the beginning since there are a lot of different series and different generations of cats in them, it becomes more clear one you keep reading.

Into The Wild is the Beginning of a wonderful series, following Rusty to FireStar through the whole series, is a delightful read in it self. Starting as a Kitty Pet (House cat) to a full on leader of a forest clan is intriguing to just think about! A must Read!

"Only Fire can save the clan"- Spottedleaf from into the Wild. From the moment I opened the book and read those words I devoured Erin Hunters books. into the wild took me on a amazing adventure, through a cats eyes!!! Rusty/Firepaw/Fireheart/Firestar had to learn so much to be were he is now. He will grow even more. If anyone ever asks me if this book was good I would say that this book is amazing! If I was kittypet and had a chance to join any of the clans I would definitely join!! My favorite clan is Wind clan!! If you are reading this and haven't read Into The Wild this is a perfect trailer for you!! Anyway, a ordinary house cat named Rusty who is bored of being a house cat and decides to join a clan named Thunderclan after he is granted with this awesome wish come true. Little does Rusty know, who's new clan name is Firepaw that a prophecy had been created describing his flame colored coat!! Watched Firepaw embark on a amazing journey!! I don't want to spoil anything so if you love cats, strange names, and action then this book is for you!
