First read this when I was 12. Re-reading the entire series now at 24 and I still love it.
This great series begins with Rusty, a kitten with ginger fur and his curiousity about the forest near his home. One day he decides to hunt a mouse in the forest and is greeted by mysterious cat that invite him to come and join them in the wild. Rusty agrees and is given the name of Firepaw, he is to train how to be a good fighter and hunter and he befriends fellow kitten-in-training (called Apprentices) Graypaw. Together they train, get into trouble and help save ThunderClan's newborn kits.

Time traveled back to middle school while rereading this book ahhhhh. By no means is this a piece of literary perfection, but it was silly and entertaining and lowkey not as stupid as I anticipated it to be. I will be rereading the entire series now.

Took a punt on a book aimed at a much younger audience which didn’t pay off. Naming conventions of the different cats annoyed me too much. Nail in the coffin was the “medic cat” requesting spiders webs to “patch up a wound”.

I’ve loved this series for the past 9 years. When I first read it, I read one every single day. Now, I read a little slower (as I’m busier), but I still love to re-read.
Into the Wild is a wonderful start to this wonderful series. It’s always a lovely read.

I still love this book after this most recent re-read years and years later. It was the perfect beginning to entice young kids into reading.
I am glad, though, that the Erins stopped writing out the cat’s sounds (like when Rusty/Firepaw attacked Graypaw, the guff-ow’s and stuff like that) because that felt too juvenile and was cringey to read. The feel of the Clan also feels a lot more formal than the friendly, kinship, warm feeling from the recent books, and it’s not just because Tigerclaw was still around.
I also am critical of Firepaw’s feelings toward Spottedleaf. Sure, she’s pretty. But you BARELY SPOKE MORE THAN 6 WORDS TO HER YOU ARE NOT IN LOVE. This continues to irritate me throughout the series despite liking Spottedleaf’s character. This re-read also reminded me how much I love Graypaw/stripe.
Overall, is a great read. Doesn’t hold up quite as well after re-reads, but is still worthy.
