Rusty is an ordinary house cat that lives with humans. But one day, Rusty strays into the great forest and meets the Clan cats of Thunderclan, one of the four great Clans of cats that rule the wild. So Rusty joins the Clan, and earns his new name, Firepaw. Then he begins to train as a Warrior and is made an apprentice. But Shadowclan is growing stronger and is a threat to the other clans. Firepaw is suspicious of murders within his clan. And how will his clan deal with the treacherous Shadowclan?
I think this book was really well written. The battle scenes in particular were thrilling. I sometimes get confused which cat belongs to which Clan, but thanks to the list at the front of the book I soon worked it out. I got completely absorbed in this book.
