Reviews"The last few years have seen the publication of many fantasies, but few have the appeal of this original story. Rather than creating a host of strange creatures and magical powers, Flanigan concentrates on character, offering readers a young protagonist they will care about and relationships that develop believably over time.Readers will look forward to the next adventure in The Ruins of Gorlan series." -Booklist, starred review

    Rangers Apprentice is an excellent series

    I am always on the look-out for a new book series that my son of whom is age 12 and is an avid reader would like. I was in a local book store one day and saw book one of the Rangers Apprentice so I picked it up and started reading it. I soon became captivated in the book myself and knew that my son would like it too so I purchased the book and gave it to my son who said he had heard of the series but hadn't read it. The next night he said he had completely read the book and wanted the entire series. I sort of knew he'd like it but wow! So I started searching around the internet for the series and ended up purchasing it here on Ebay from Ambis2009 of whom packed the books very well so I had received the set undamaged. Within 10 days my son had read all 12 books and said it's an excellent series. He has since started reading the series again and is now on book 9. You can read descriptions of the Rangers Apprentice on the internet to see if the content is something your kid would like. Mine did.

  • Just one problem!

    Very intriguing but, one big problem for me. The author has an excellent way of captivating young readers. Why add in curse words? Just a few but still! Kinda like saying there's just a tad of poop in that delicious batch of cookie dough. What's a little going to hurt?

  • 6th Grade reading but Amazing

    Love the whole series. It's a little graphical (blood and killing) but still child friendly. Easy to get into and its an amazing ride through the series.
