#Into the wild book on tape series
In 2003, HarperCollins requested Victoria Holmes to create a fantasy series about feral cats, but, being more interested in dogs and not a reader of fantasy, she was less than enthusiastic. Victoria Holmes answering how the idea for Warriors began. Among other awards, it claimed third place in the 2006 Young Reader's Choice Awards program of the Pacific Northwest Library Association.ĭevelopment and publication Conception Feral cats seemed like an excellent compromise between regular domestic pussycats and a truly wild animal: they have all the freedom and independence of living in the wild, but they would be instantly recognizable to readers as the pet lying on their lap. Booklist believed the book would appeal to followers of Brian Jacques' Redwall series. Into the Wild was critically well received. Themes include family, loyalty, death, courage, and survival. The style has been compared to the Harry Potter series, J.R.R. The story uses a lexicon with words such as "Twoleg" substituted for "human" or "new-leaf" for "spring". She feels that Erin Hunter must have a consistent voice the entire series. Holmes has compared the style of the book to a different language as the books are written by three separate authors. After creating one storyline Holmes brought in Kate Cary to finish writing the book as Holmes went behind the scenes to edit and supervise the details.

The series began in 2003 when HarperCollins requested Holmes to write a book on feral cats. The novel is written from the perspective of Fireheart (previously known as Rusty for a short time, then, for most of the book, Firepaw). He is trained to defend and hunt for the clan, becomes embroiled in a murder and betrayal within the clan, and, at the end of the book, receives his warrior name, Fireheart, after a battle with another clan. The story is about a young domestic cat named Rusty who leaves his human owners to join a group of forest-dwelling feral cats called ThunderClan, adopting a new name: Firepaw. The book has been published in paperback, and e-book formats in twenty different languages. It is the first novel in the Warriors series. The novel was published by HarperCollins in Canada and the United States in January 2003, and in the United Kingdom in February 2003. Climax was superb but again the ending needed a few more lines in detail.Into the Wild is a fantasy novel about the lives of fictional cats, written by a team of authors using the pseudonym Erin Hunter. Fire and Ice and Forest of Secrets will surely tell us more about these clans and the world of the warrior cats that has appeared first time in the world of fiction.Ī little more aggressive participation by the narrator in the future parts would be quite wonderful for the audience. The narrator MacLeod Andrews has not provided a lot of variety in speech but it is simple and understandable by the kids. No one ever suspected that an ordinary being would come to the rescue of the warriors. Instead of a warrior a housecat named Rusty emerges from an unknown pit.

The rest of three clans find themselves in great danger and start looking for a hero who can save them from the upcoming calamity. Many think that the Shadow Clan is behind all of this but there is no evidence against any of its members. Breaking those well set boundaries is considered a crime.Īn unknown force however surpasses every law that is there on the land and starts killing warriors at a rapid pace.
