Epic adventures. Fierce warrior cats. A thrilling fantasy world. It all begins here.

Read the book that began a phenomenon—and join the legion of fans who have made Erin Hunter’s Warriors series a #1 national bestseller.

For generations, four Clans of wild cats have shared the forest according to the laws laid down by their ancestors. But the warrior code has been threatened, and the ThunderClan cats are in grave danger. The sinister ShadowClan grows stronger every day. Noble warriors are dying—and some deaths are more mysterious than others.

In the midst of this turmoil appears an ordinary housecat named Rusty… who may turn out to be the bravest warrior of them all.

Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Grade 5 Up-Rusty, a young "kittypet" (house cat), yearns for adventure. When he's offered the chance to join the ThunderClan, one of the gangs of feral cats in the area, he doesn't hesitate. Renamed Firepaw, he becomes an apprentice and begins to train as a warrior. After rescuing Yellowfang, ex-medicine cat for the ShadowClan who has fled for her life, Firepaw and the other ThunderClan members find themselves in the middle of a turf war against the rival gang, led by the nefarious Brokenstar. There's a traitor in their midst, though, and Firepaw must learn more than just hunting and fighting to survive. The author has created an intriguing world with an intricate structure and mythology, and an engaging young hero. The supporting cast of players is large and a little confusing, but there are standouts who give dimension to the tale. The difficult life of a feral cat is described in some detail, and a fair amount of violence is included. The ending is left ambiguous-there is definitely more to come. This is not as elegantly written as Brian Jacques's "Redwall" series (Philomel), but it's another option for fans of animal adventure/fantasy stories.

From Booklist

Gr. 6-9. For generations, four clans of wild cats have shared the forest according to laws laid down by powerful ancestral clans. But now things are changing: ShadowClan has banished WindClan and is threatening RiverClan and ThunderClan by insisting on hunting rights within their territories. What's more, each year the TwoLegs encroach further into the forest, and prey is becoming scarce. A prophecy reveals, "Fire alone can save [the] Clan." Into this dangerous situation wanders a "kittypet," a young, bright orange tomcat whose courage earns him, despite objections by some, a place as an apprentice ThunderClan warrior and the new name of Firepaw. In this first spine-tingling episode in the planned Warriors series, Firepaw learns the ways of the wild life, facing many dangers and treachery both within and without his new clan. Intelligence notwithstanding, the cat characters are true to their feline nature, making this sure to appeal to fans of Clare Bell's long-popular Ratha's Creature (1983) and its sequels and also to followers of Brian Jacques' ongoing Redwall series.

5.0 out of 5 stars Well-written, immersive story for children/young adults
Reviewed in the United States on March 9, 2024

A perfect blend of children's adventure and fantasy. This book was a great introduction to the series. The plot is not intricate but is simple, entertaining, and easy to follow. It also effectively introduces the universe of Warriors to readers

I was pleasantly surprised by the simple details incorporated into the narrative elements of this story. The small details, cat names, clan rituals, descriptions, and even dialogue tags bring an immersive experience of the "cat world" to the reader in a way that isn't comical or unbelievable. I could honestly envision the cats speaking, purring, meowing their dialogue like a cat version of the Lion King.

I'd definitely recommend this to a young - or young at heart - reader who likes straightforward adventure novels with just a hint of fantasy. Cat lovers would also find it easy to sink their claws into this book.

i deeply deeply enjoyed this series as a young, young lady! re reading it has brought me such immense joy, even as a 23 year old LOL! i found myself so immersed in the worlds of the clans, the wildness and the language used. this series is a strong and inspiring story of a cat who truly becomes one of the best ThunderClan warriors\leaders there is. it's funny how a human can take those life lessons and apply them.... great series for middle school aged children.

5.0 out of 5 stars Review from my daughter SPOILER ALERT
Reviewed in the United States on February 12, 2013

Warriors: Into the Wild is one of the best books I've ever read in my life! It is action-packed, a little humorous, and there's a surprise at every corner. One of my friends introduced the book to me, and I'm glad she did for it's a real page-turner. At first, I was a little unsure if the book was suited to me because it seemed a little violent. But, I kept reading and I started to find that I love this book. I found some characters that I really related to. In fact, I love it so much that when I was on the first book my parents got me the next two books. I just started the second book and can't get my nose out of it. I love Warriors and I know a lot of other people who do too. ;)

This story is about friendship, trust, and a little bit of war. It is also about trying new things, bravery, and not backing down. This story takes place in a damp, chilly woods that are not far from a person's house. In the beginning, a young a cat named Rusty is living with people at the edge of a forest. He meets a wild warrior cat named Graypaw. Graypaw convinces Rusty, now known as Firepaw, to join Thunderclan in a time of need. Then, Firepaw finds himself a full warrior and has lots of friends. Then, in a blink of an eye, Shadowclan is demanding Thunderclan territory! Firepaw and his Thunderclan friends are at war with Shadowclan. Though some die, Firepaw avenges them all. In the end, the leader of Shadowclan learns his lesson and dashes back into the forest.

The main characters in Warriors: Into the Wild are:
Firepaw - a young cat with a fiery spirit for adventure and is very trust worthy.
Graypaw - Firepaw's best friend who is a curious cat and is also a warrior.
Ravenpaw - also Firepaw's friend and warrior who is shy and frail but quick and powerful, though he had to run away.
Spottedleaf - Firepaw's crush who is very beautiful and talented in nursing and taking care of kittens (a.k.a., kits).
Bluestar - Thunderclan's leader who saw a warrior locked up in Firepaw's heart, yearning to be set free.
Tigerclaw - a tough, serious, bold cat who loves to fight and has one emotion -- anger!
Yellowfang - a black, shaggy cat who has attitude and was once in Shadowclan, but is now a Thunderclan medicine cat .
Smudge - a black and white cat who grew up with Firepaw since they were kits but is not a warrior.

I love this book, it inspired me in so many ways! I know a lot of my friends would love the action packed thrills of reading this book. I think that this book has perfect blend of these details: a pound of action, a dose of determination, seasoned with humor and you have the perfect recipe for a perfect book.
