What the critics say

Young readers who enjoy adventure fantasy stories will find this well written and carefully crafted tale thoroughly captivating.

... [T]his title by John Flanagan demonstrates wonderfully that you don't have to be the biggest guy in the pack to help make a difference or the strongest and that thought can a lot of the time out do brute force.
Add to this a wonderful story that takes the young reader on a fantasy journey as an apprentice learns the trade of the Ranger and discovers friendships can last and be forged despite the start that you have in life. It's clever, it's got great courage and fully supports the positive mental attitude that we all wish we could instil. Finally add to this a huge story arc, cracking characters that the reader will love to hang around and it's a tale that will have the reader demanding more. Great stuff.

A fun and interesting read that grabbed my attention from the first page. I think fans of YA fantasy would enjoy this series, and I urge you to get yourself a copy as soon as you can!

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.
