Development and publication [edit]

Conception [edit]

Feral cats seemed like an excellent compromise betwixt regular domestic pussycats and a truly wild fauna: they take all the liberty and independence of living in the wild, just they would be instantly recognizable to readers as the pet lying on their lap.
— Victoria Holmes answering how the idea for Warriors began.[i]

In 2003, HarperCollins requested Victoria Holmes to create a fantasy serial well-nigh feral cats, but, being more than interested in dogs and not a reader of fantasy, she was less than enthusiastic.[2] She "couldn't imagine coming up with plenty ideas".[3] Nonetheless, she worked with the concept, expanding the storyline with elements of war, politics, revenge, doomed love, and religious conflict. Although the original program was a stand up-alone novel, enough material was created for several books, and the publisher decided upon a six-book series.[3] Holmes then enlisted the help of some other author, Kate Cary whom Holmes had previously edited for and knew she loved cats.[4] The start book, Into the Wild, was written by Kate Cary nether the pseudonym Erin Hunter, and completed in about three months.[v] Holmes continued to human activity behind the scenes editing and supervising details. Afterward, Holmes began to like the idea of using cats since she realized how they can exist leading individual lives without whatsoever humans realizing.[i]

Pseudonym [edit]

With four authors at the time Holmes decided to take a pseudonym since having four authors would identify the books at different places at libraries, confusing and perhaps scaring off potential readers. The terminal name Hunter was chosen since it put the books next to the similar Redwall series.[2]

Publication history [edit]

Into the Wild was get-go published as a hardcover past HarperCollins on 9 January 2003 in Canada.[six] The book was released on 21 January 2003 in the United States,[7] and in February 2003 in the Britain.[8] Into the Wild was released as a paperback in the US on half dozen January 2004.[ix] On iv September 2007, the book was released every bit an eBook,[ten] and on Amazon's Kindle.[11] The book was ane of the first to exist in HarperCollins' "Browse Inside" program where twenty per centum of the novel is available online. For a express time, the complete novel was also available online.[12] The paperback version sold 150,637 copies in 2008.[xiii]

The novel has been released and translated in twenty countries[14] including Germany, Britain, France, Russia, Japan, Korea, Prc, Czech republic, Lithuania, Portugal, Hungary, Brazil, Norway and Hellenic republic. In Germany, the book has also been released every bit an audiobook.[15] The Chinese version was released on 31 October 2008, with a 3-D card of Firepaw.[14]

Plot [edit]

The fictional woods of the novel was originally inspired by New Woods (above) and other locales in England and Scotland.

Into the Wild follows the integration of a business firm cat named Rusty into a group of feral cats living in a fictional woods inspired by the existent world locales of New Forest,[5] the woods about Loch Lomond, the Wood of Dean, and the Scottish Highlands.[16] The group of cats are called ThunderClan, and share the fictional forest with three other groups of feral cats chosen RiverClan, WindClan, and ShadowClan.

The novel opens with a battle betwixt ThunderClan and RiverClan over a territorial dispute. ThunderClan is outnumbered and forced to retreat. In the aftermath, ThunderClan'southward medicine cat Spottedleaf receives a prophecy from StarClan, the spirits of the cats' deceased ancestors, telling her that "fire volition save our Association", which she shares with ThunderClan's leader Bluestar.

When he ventures into the forest near his home, Rusty, a flame-coloured housecat, encounters Bluestar, ThunderClan apprentice Graypaw, and ThunderClan warrior Lionheart. They invite Rusty to join ThunderClan. Still, due to Rusty's domesticated past, some members of the Clan are hostile towards Rusty upon his arrival in ThunderClan's army camp. The hostility culminates in Rusty fighting one of ThunderClan'due south warriors, Longtail, losing his collar in the procedure. Bluestar then halts the fight and announces that Rusty has earned his apprentice name, Firepaw. Shortly afterward, ThunderClan'south deputy Redtail is revealed to accept died, and Bluestar names Lionheart the new deputy of ThunderClan.

Firepaw forms a strong friendship with Graypaw, and Ravenpaw, who is the amateur of Tigerclaw, an ambitious ThunderClan warrior who wishes to become Clan leader. When Bluestar, Tigerclaw, Ravenpaw, Firepaw, and Graypaw travel to the Moonstone, a sacred site to the Association cats, ShadowClan cats attack ThunderClan'south camp, killing Lionheart. Tigerclaw is subsequently named deputy in his identify. A few days subsequently, Spottedleaf is murdered, and several ThunderClan kits are abducted by ShadowClan. With the exception of Firepaw and Graypaw, all of ThunderClan suspects the perpetrator of these events to be Yellowfang, a former and exiled ShadowClan medicine cat whom Firepaw had taken prisoner for ThunderClan before.

Firepaw learns from Ravenpaw that Tigerclaw is a traitor to the Association, having murdered Redtail in hopes of condign deputy. Firepaw and Graypaw lead Ravenpaw to a new dwelling house in a barn away from ThunderClan territory in order to protect him from beingness killed past Tigerclaw for knowing besides much incriminating information. Firepaw and then successfully leads a rescue party with Yellowfang to rescue the abducted kits from ShadowClan, leading to the exile of Brokenstar and his followers from ShadowClan. For their heroism in rescuing the kits, Firepaw and Graypaw are promoted to warriors by Bluestar, who gives them their warrior names, Fireheart and Graystripe. Having proven that she is non helping ShadowClan, Yellowfang is accepted as ThunderClan's medicine cat, replacing the murdered Spottedleaf.

Style [edit]

"Into the Wild did occasionally remind me of the Harry Potter books, both in writing way and content. Rusty forms a firm friendship with an apprentice (warrior in training, more than than 6 months quondam) chosen Graypaw, a longhaired solid grey tom. Graypaw adds the laughter to what is, when you really call back about information technology, a rather gritty story. This friendship reminded me strongly of Harry and Ron when they first met in the Philosopher's Stone. Cats such as Bluestar and Yellowfang form the older say-so figures. These ii characters reminded me of Dumbledore and Snape (though not too closely)."
—A review from Fantasy Book Review comparing Into the Wild and the Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling.[17] Kate Cary describes the vocalization as their natural writing style.[1]

The story is told in a third person point of view following the protagonist Firepaw. The narration stays with Firepaw until the next series, Warriors: The New Prophecy, in which the point of view alternates between cats since the authors felt that "we'd actually told Firestar's story, and so we wanted to get a fresh viewpoint".[5]

The style of the book has likewise been compared to the Redwall series past Brian Jacques. A reviewer for The Plain Dealer wrote that the volume "is patterned in the style of classics by J.R.R. Tolkien or Brian Jacques".[18] While School Library Journal recommended the book to Redwall fans, the reviewer nonetheless felt the way wasn't every bit elegant.[19]

Lexicon [edit]

The book has a lexicon with certain different names for strange objects. A Children's Literature review noted the words "kittypet" and "Twoleg" which mean housecat and humans respectively. In the book, instead, of using "said", Cary uses the word "mewed". This was criticized with the reviewer writing "that 'he mewed', 'she purred', and 'the warrior mewed', which pass for cat talk, grows old fast".[20] In response to a question at the Q&A section of the forum Holmes explained that the names come up "in 2 parts, either or both of which can reverberate something about the cat's appearance, personality, or habits". Nevertheless, they must as well exist part of the world they know; Holmes originally gave Tigerclaw the proper noun Hammerclaw until one of the editors pointed out the cats wouldn't know what a hammer is.[21] For the names, Kate Cary says that she takes in inspiration for the names from "sight, sounds and scents the cats would feel". At the aforementioned time, more names get available equally the cat's globe becomes more diverse.[1]

Genres [edit]

Harper Collins originally requested that Holmes write a "fantasy story on feral cats". Though troubled on what to write about at starting time, Holmes realized she could add human themes and issues into the book such every bit "war, politics, revenge, doomed love, religious disharmonize".[iii] An interviewer has described the plot as "Shakespearian: a mad leader, intra-clan betrayal, war, star-crossed lovers, death".[1] Reviews have as well called the story an "animal chance".[22]

The novel was picked to be part of the young adult fantasy genre due to its increasing popularity. Cherith Baldry feel that the growth of genre is due to the fact that "fantasy is something very securely rooted in the human mind, non just for children". Fantasy stories are able to deal with man emotions helping readers to deal with them in the real globe. Another Erin Hunter, Kate Cary felt that fantasy books such as Harry Potter "is a sign of a deepening need for fantasy to brighten our lives". She describes how as a child she was far less restricted than today's children whose days are structured and scheduled. Cary feels that fantasy stories help kids "escape into the world of the imagination, considering it's the but place they can be actually gratuitous and un-judged".[ane]

Themes [edit]

Publishers Weekly noted that themes such as family, friendship and responsibility are also taught in the warrior code, the set of rules that the Clans must follow.[23] Holmes has said that one of her favorite things nearly writing the series is being able to add in themes that apply to u.s. all such as family unit, loss, honor, bravery, death, loyalty, and post-obit rules. Other themes include "death and spirituality and family and relationships".[24] She also added in human being themes such as "starting at a new school (Rusty joining ThunderClan), falling in honey with the wrong person (Graystripe and Silverstream) and beingness bullied by someone who should wait after you (Tigerclaw bullying Ravenpaw)".[25] To a reviewer for Kirkus Reviews, the human theme of fitting in was easily constitute and applauded when Rusty succeeds.[22]

Some other theme found throughout the book is the hardship of life in the wild. Reviews take noted how the story does not embrace up the hardships of Clan life. School Library Periodical commented on how the story describes the hardships and difficulties of a feral cat's life in detail and how there is no sugarcoating of the violence.[nineteen] Fantasy Volume Review also wrote "Erin Hunter does not spare the reader from the grim realities of living in the wild".[17] Kirkus Reviews noted that doing so shows how the Clans are on the brink of survival.[22]

Critical reception [edit]

Into the Wild received generally positive reviews. Booklist thought the novel "spine-tingling" and noted that "the cat characters are true to their feline nature, making this certain to appeal to fans of Clare Bell'due south long-popular Ratha'southward Animal (1983) and its sequels and also to followers of Brian Jacques' ongoing Redwall series."[26] Publishers Weekly praised the excitement and besides added that the volume would please any person who "has ever wondered what dreams of grandeur may haunt the family unit cat". The review likewise praised the world of the cats and themes put into the book.[23] Although School Library Periodical thought the book not likewise written as the Redwall series, it did notation that the novel presented an "intriguing world with an intricate construction". The review also felt that in that location was too many supporting characters, but "there are standouts who give dimension to the tale". The amount of violence was also noted in the review.[xix] Kirkus Reviews joked the book would have cat owners expect at their pets nervously before writing how Hunter doesn't have "any hint of sentimentality. Snapping bones, flowing claret, and sudden death abundantly demonstrate how these cats walk on the thin edge of survival". The review noted how teens would run into how hard it is for Firepaw to fit in.[22] Washington Times notes the tension rising between Tigerclaw and Firepaw and praised the scene where Longtail challenges Firepaw's right to be in the Clan.[27]

Awards and recognitions [edit]
