Description
The international bestselling series with over 5 million copies sold in the U.S. alone ! Still far from home after escaping slavery in the icebound land of Skandia, young Will and Evanlyn's plans to return to Araluen are spoiled when Evanlyn is taken captive. Though still weak, Will employs his Ranger training to locate his friend but soon finds himself fatally outnumbered. Will is certain death is close at hand, until Halt and Horace make a daring last-minute rescue. But their reunion is cut short by the horrifying discovery that Skandia's borders have been breached by the Temujai army - and Araluen is next in their sights. Only an unlikely union can save the two kingdoms, but can it hold long enough to vanquish a ruthless new enemy? Perfect for fans of J.R.R. Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings, T.H. White’s The Sword in the Stone, Christopher Paolini’s Eragon series, and George R. R. Martin’s Game of Thrones/A Song of Ice and Fire series.

Loved the book
I am excited to read the next book. I like this series. I've read the books several times. When I can't think of a book to get, I go back to the Ranger's Apprentice.

Great book!!
This book is entertaining with a great plot. I highly recommend! The Rangers Apprentice series is the best- I am so glad I found it.

Really great books for my boy and girl!
1...Had a bit of trouble with Amazon and the delivery of my item. First it got lost (carriers fault) and then I had to deal with a threat of being charged for my replacement as they claimed I had recieved BOTH copies afterall, but I only got one. So yeah.. That was a headache.2.. As for the book itself? Great!!! Really enjoyed reading it with my 11 year old son who enjoys medieval fantasy type stories. We still like to sit and read a chapter or two of a book together each night, just makes for good screen free time together. We happened to have the first 2 Rangers Apprentice stories from someone giving us copies.. We are now trying to read the entire series. Its an easy read for me, but perfect for him. Story is fun and exciting, he is always wondering what will happen next to the main characters and really gets into these books. Now my 8 year old daughter likes them, too. and is reading them in turn with my husband. So great stories for the entire family!

The Battle is on for Fun
I have started this series on the advice - to my 13 yr old - of my 14 yr old nephew. I wanted to read it first and see what kind of book it was and if it was appropriate for him. I find myself thoroughly enjoying this series rather than just screening it for my son.The action is tense and riveting in this book. The main characters use intelligence and ingenuity to meet the overwhelming and seemingly insurmountable odds that face them. There are so many twists and turns and Halt, Will, Horace, Evanlyn & Erak step up to the challenge with their usual tenacity, sense of humor and strength of character.John Flannagan writes with a wit and charm that captures the imagination of young and old alike, my son's young and my old. I find myself speeding through the series looking forward to the next book. I am lucky I got into it a little late so there are a few books to catch up until I am waiting with the rest of the world. I am enchanted by these books and more than willing for all of my children to endulge their fantasy reading with them.Great read and highly recommended for all ages.

For Adventure Seekers Only
My daughter received book 1 of this series a couple of years ago as a gift. I began reading it to my children at bedtime and soon all 3 of us were hooked. John Flanagan is a very talented author and keeps the suspense going all the way through each book. There were very few chapters in any of the first 3 books or this one where we were comfortable stopping for the night. More often than not, I would hope my kids would beg for one more chapter so I could give in and read on to satisfy my own curiousity. At times, after I tucked them in, I would have to go sneak a peak at the next chapter because I couldn't stand the suspense! Then I would be so excited about what was going on that I would read that chapter to my children during breakfast the next morning!Flanagan has created a world enough like ours to be believeable and comfortable at times, but different enough to pique your curiousity and leave you frequently fearing the unknown. Book 3 was such a cliffhanger that book 4 "The Battle for Skandia" was a welcome relief to hanging at the edge of your seat. Though it is very well written, interesting, full of adventure and excitement, I am able to relax and breath a little more often while reading this one. I give the entire series five stars!

Fun battles, side plots and great series. The character development is fantastic, with a little heartbreak and worry to keep you reading.

Amazing Book!
This book is one of my favorites. Get ready for a whole lot of action-packed adventuring! You've done it again John Flanagan!

Fantastic
Wonderful book by John Flanagan. I liked this book very much. It kept me on the edge of my seat. Like all the previous books you feel as if the defenders will lose but in the form of an unexpected hero someone or the other will save them. I recommend this as must read for all RA fans. Deserves the 5 stars it gets.

Very gripping ad entertaining
This book is probably one of the best in the series however they are all amazing so don't stop here, if you enjoyed the first one you'll like this, if you liked 'Lord of the Rings' read the rangers apprentice
