Rangers Apprentice: The Ruins of Gorlan

This book is one of my FAVORITES. of all time! I enjoyed this book so much, I made not just my dad read it, but even my grandpa. Guess what? They both loved it too. My dad and I quote this book to each other on a regular basis. I really enjoyed it, not just because of its fast-paced storyline, but because of the lessons I learned from it.

Ranger’s Apprentice: The Ruins of Gorlan by John Flanagan leads you on a wild ride through medieval times with Will and Halt. Will is an orphan who cannot find his place during choosing day when he and his friends are meant to decide their trades for their lives.

Will never saw what was coming, and soon finds himself in a trade that is a lot more interesting, exciting, and adventurous than what he was led to expect. This bow-and-arrow-filled book is the beginning of one of the coolest series I have ever read.

Something else that I find is really cool with this series is the fact that it has three companion series, some of which share characters, that take place in the same world.
