by Erin HunterThis book is about a house cat named Rusty becoming a warrior cat. He runs away from home with hopes of freedom. When he's out in the forest, he finds Bluestar, the leader of the Thunderclan. She takes him in to become a warrior, but first he must train, and prove to the clan that he is ready. When Rusty is brought into the clan, he is given the name Firepaw. There are several clans in the forest, and they all believe in Starclan, which is a mysterious, heavenly clan that lives in the stars.
Once every moon all the cats, under a peaceful alliance, meet at the "Fourtrees" to spread news, and to discuss any issues that affect the clans. When the sinister Shadowclan leader Brokenstar announces that his clan doesn't have enough food, giving them the right to hunt in other clan's territories, the trouble starts. As if to prove their point, Shadowclan forces Windclan out of their territory.
Meanwhile Ravenpaw, Firepaw's friend, tells him that the new deputy of the Thunderclan (Tigerclaw), murdered the former deputy to rise to power. This is a clear violation of the warrior code, which is a group of laws set by Starclan.
Will Firepaw help save his clan from Shadowclan's evil intentions, and bring Windclan back to their lands? What will happen to Ravenpaw now that he knows Tigerclaw's secret? Find out in this captivating tale by Erin Hunter.
