What the critics say

Laced with humour, credible characters and the poignancy of slavery and drug addiction, The Icebound Land is a gripping tale.
- School Librarian

...dazzling in its detail, children will be unable to put this down
- Liverpool Echo

A fantastic adventure with endearing characters. Five out of five stars.
- www.bettybookmark.co.uk

It is a story that adds more layers to the characters allowing them to form greater bonds and alliances as well as allowing the reader to get the adventure that they craved from the others in the series. Add to this the authors great sense of pace and it's a series that I really can't put down.

Flanagan has written an engaging adventure story that I think a lot of young boys will love...An engaging adventure story that had me hooked from the start. But for me, the real strength of The Icebound Land is its lovable and realistic characters. I can't wait to read more about this fascinating group of people.

About the Author

John Flanagan began his working life in advertising before moving to freelance writing and script editing. He has written TV jingles and comedy-drama for television, and is one of Australia's more prolific TV writers.

John wrote the first book in the Ranger's Apprentice series to encourage his twelve-year-old son to enjoy reading. Michael was a small boy, and all his friends were bigger and stronger that he was. John wanted to show him that reading was fun, and heroes weren't necessarily big and muscular. Now in his mid-twenties, Michael is six feet tall, broad-shouldered and powerful - but he still loves the Ranger's Apprentice.

John lives in the beachside Sydney suburb of Manly.
