Ranger’s Apprentice by John Flanagan
Reviewed by: Reah, Gr. 7
This book is about Will, a castle ward that was chosen as a Ranger's apprentice. Will always thought that he could have a chance at being accepted into Battle school to train to be a knight, but Sir Rodney didn't accept him. Halt, the Ranger that chose Will, teaches Will the ways and techniques of a Ranger. I don't like fantasy books much, but I really loved reading this book. I was glued to it until I finished reading it.

I really liked this book, the plotline is very interesting and the mystical land of Alaruen is really cool. Also, the villains are real strong and they are completely ruthless. Also, it tells the story of a boy who doesn't fit in anywhere but gets a life worth living eventually.

Will is an unusual case. Unlike the majority of the fiefdom, he is a ward of Baron Arald, being raised out of the goodness of the Baron's heart. This means that he has no parents to set the course for his future and thus will take part in Choosing Day with the rest of the wards and be chosen by one of the craftsman to be taken in as an apprentice or else become a farmhand for the rest of his life. But unlike the rest of the wards, he has no skills to speak of for any of the known crafts. So when Choosing Day comes, he is hopeless. But, Will is, as mentioned, an unusual case. And he is chosen to train under Halt, a shadowy member of the even more shadowy group known as the Rangers. And so Will starts his life as a Ranger, a protector and spy for the kingdom. Even as an apprentice, he will face danger and action beyond his imagination. The Ranger's Apprentice was an engaging read that I completely enjoyed. I can't wait to read the next book in the series and recommend this book to everyone.
