The Ruins of Gorlan (The Ranger's Apprentice #1) by John Flanagan
Read From August 1 to August 3
5 Stars
This book was wonderful. A great fantasy adventure, that would be well suited to middle school aged boys, especially. But I LOVED it!
This is the story of a young ward of the castle whose parents died when he was an infant and he grows up without knowing his family story or roots. His only desire is to become what his imagination has created as his father's image - a Knight of the Castle by attending Battleschool. As we follow the adventures of Will and his 15 y.o. wardmates we get to watch as he grows and becomes something he never even considered as a career choice and eventually learns of his parentage and background.
This is a very well written story, that I followed with great attention and speed. It is part of a series and I fully plan on continuing with this author.
If you love good old adventure stories or have a child who does, I highly recommend this fast read!
READ IT AND LOVE IT!
