Author- John Flanagan
Description- This fantasy/Adventure series about boy finding his role in life after thinking he didn’t belong anywhere.
Review- A young boy named Will at the age of 15 was always small for his age was chosen to be a Ranger’s Apprentice. Rangers were thought to practice magic and be invisible. Will later realizes that Rangers are the protectors of the Kingdom. Will is expected to be highly trained in many different aspects of battle and starts to obtain skills with his bow. There is a large battle growing and Morgarath, Lord of the mountains will not be denied!
My take on it- I loved the different character development in this book. I also loved the relationship that was developed between Will and Halt. Will really gets to know himself as he develops skills and feels like he belongs in the world.
