I love the names used to describe objects by the cats, for example: "thunderpath" for road or "Silverpelt" for the Milky Way. In this book you follow Firepaw as he makes friends, enemies and learns to live with the warrior code. Rusty earns his place in the clan and a right to be trained as an apprentice with the new name Firepaw by losing his collar and bell in a fight for his honour with the young warrior tom, Longtail. Warriors are cats that have been trained by other more experienced warriors as apprentices to fight other clans and defend their clan, but most of all to hunt prey. He is a "kitty pet" (a cat that lives with "two legs") who gets invited by Bluestar, the leader, and Whitestorm, to join Thunder Clan because they are short on warriors. Into the Wild is the first of many books by Erin Hunter about four clans of wild cats living without the help of humans or "two legs." The main character, at least in this series, is a ginger tom called Rusty. Now, some 90 years later, the South Dakota Historical Society Press is bring out "Pioneer Girl: The Annotated Biography." All of these "Little House on the Prairie" stories were in fact based on Wilder's own life, and it turns out that she originally tried to tell her story in an autobiography, one that was never published. Later generations took to the long-running 1970s TV series based on the books. She didn't begin to write until she was in her 60s, but Laura Ingalls Wilder's first effort at fiction, "The Little House in the Big Woods," published 1932, was the Egypt of a series about life on the Great Plains of the 19th century that's been treasured by generations of children, selling some 60 million copies and translated into more than 40 languages.

Frankly, Lily would like to take him out into the wilderness-and leave him there. It pays the bills but doesn’t leave enough to fulfill her dream of buying back the beloved ranch her father sold years ago, and definitely not enough to deal with the sight of the man she once loved walking back into her life with a motley crew of friends ready to hit the trails. But Lily is nothing if not resourceful, and now uses Duke’s coveted hand-drawn maps to guide tourists on fake treasure hunts through the red rock canyons of Utah.
