The Ruins of Gorlan
The Ranger's Apprentice, Book 1
by John Flanagan
Like the other wards of Castle Redmont, Will is nervous about Choosing Day, when each of them will be assigned to a different master for training. Though his dearest wish is to enter the Battleschool and become a knight, his small stature prevents it. Instead, Will is apprenticed to the grim-faced, mysterious Ranger Halt. Soon Will learns that becoming a ranger is more difficult, dangerous, and worthwhile than he had imagined. Will's world is threatened by an evil warlord and his fierce minions and he is drawn into the fight against them. Readers will be eager to share the exciting adventures of the Ranger's Apprentice.
