They open it to see a group of cats standing there: Willie, Minty, Snapper, Tess and Pounce.
Later, Barley overhears Willie and Snapper talking about getting their own territory, and is suspicious, but doesn't say a word about it to Ravenpaw.
When Willie's gang is ready to leave, Ravenpaw is very sad and is reluctant to see them go, but Barley is relieved and ushers them out.
The two cats then choose to help the dogs of the humans who own the farm escape the fire as well.
The farmer, hearing the racket, comes to check on his chickens and sees them dead, with the only cats in sight being Ravenpaw and Barley.
They meet Willie and his gang again, off the farm's property, and find out they were former members of BloodClan, trying to remake their "lost" Clan.
That night, the duo sleeps under a bush in the rain, and Ravenpaw apologizes to Barley for not listening to him.
"Since this is the first "Warriors" book I have read, I was pleased to find that the author includes enough information before the first chapter that I could understand what was happening from the start.
In this addition to the series, Ravenpaw decides to leave the security of his association with the ThunderClan and move to the farm.
There, he lives with his friend Barley, enjoying the kind of peaceful life a cat is supposed to have.
Young adults who want to read anything they can get their hands on also will enjoy the graphics, the exhilarating story, and the fast-paced text.
