There are strong elements of ferocity (as mentioned by the author.) Where I believe that’s part of what makes this story so genuine, I would caution some kids, whom it may be a little freighting for. This is not your average Politically Correct tale. And whatever happened to the fox which was hinted at? Why did some cats–particularly one of the younger ones–die when being killed, yet another, older cat came back? I was confused here.
The one thing that bothered me though–and perhaps I just missed it–has to do with the whole nine lives thing. I would call this book a page turner and a must read for kids (and some adults too). As an author myself, there’s a few areas where I would question the quality of the writing (adverb city, such as “Yellowfang replied dryly.” and “Firepaw meowed urgently ” as well as overuse of exclamation points and italics) but regardless of this, it flows pretty well. Hunter seems to have taken a Native American’ish approach to them: Bluestar, Lionheart, Tigerclaw, Spottedleaf, Ravenpaw, Speckletail, etc. The names thrown out at the beginning are enough to make one’s head spin, but amazingly enough they are not that hard to follow. Now the lessons really begin as ThunderClan fights back, and the lives of his clan depend upon him. Once things start to fall into place, life for him becomes even more complicated when one of the other clans decides to take over all the territories. He learns what it means to be a part of something, to work hard, to have real friends, and to eat like a real cat. Life became difficult for Rusty, who was given a new name (Firepaw), and a new home. After giving it some thought, he decided to join.

They make him an offer: join their clan and give up his “kittypet” life forever, and he will live as free cat. After fighting him off, other cats from the ThunderClan approached him. While exploring, he was attacked by a cat named Graypaw. inspired by a love of cats and a fascination with the ferocity of the natural world.”Ī young “kittypet”–or so called by the Clans–named Rusty, lives a pleasant and comfortable life among the “twoleggs.” Though he spends many hours sitting on a fence looking into the forest, it wasn’t until he became bold enough to go exploring that his life changed. All live in the UK, and as quoted in the back of the book, are: The author, Erin Hunter, is actually not a person, but three people: Kate Cary (takes turn writing), Cherith Baldry (takes turn writing), and Victoria Holmes (comes up with ideas and monitors consistency). Matthias and Basil Stag Hare would not be in a good position here. Mice, rabbits, and birds have the same kind of presence that fish do in Redwall: food.
That is, if you like cats who act like cats.
