So I always give interesting looking kid\\&#8217;s books a chance. This one was a miss. I saw a whole series on the shelf, about feral cats who live in groups and thought it would be similar to two old favorites of mine, <a href=\"http:\/\/dogeardiary.blogspot.com\/2008\/11\/rathas-creature.html\" style=\"font-style:italic;\">Ratha\\&#8217;s Creature<\/a> by Clare Bell or <i>Tailchaser\\&#8217;s Song<\/i> by Tad Williams. I was very disappointed. <span style=\"font-style:italic;\">Into the Wild<\/span> is about a young housecat seeking adventure who joins a group of feral cats in the forest, becomes an apprentice warrior and helps them fight off neighboring clans. Although this book attempts to create a full bodied world, it just doesn\\&#8217;t quite make it. Yes, there are kitty legends and culture, friends and foes, pretty lady cats and nasty old toms, acts of betrayal and courage. Enough stuff for a good story. But it\\&#8217;s not very well written. The characters are rather flat, their actions and the plot pretty predictable. There is nothing here that really makes you feel like you\\&#8217;re in the secret lives of felines. It wasn\\&#8217;t worth my time continuing the series.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:bold;\">Rating: 2\/5 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<\/span>288 pages, 2007<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Warriors: Iby Erin Hunter Some juvenile fiction is good, some is poor.
