Children's Literature Review:"[A] surprise twist will keep readers on pins and needles waiting for the next book." VOYA Review:"[A] winning formula that should prove out to a long, steady run for this above average series."

But the simple mission soon takes an unsettling turn. About the AuthorJohn Flanagan grew up in Sydney, Australia, hoping to be a writer. It wasn't until he wrote a highly uncomplimentary poem about a senior executive at the agency where he worked, however, that his talent was revealed. It turned out one of the company directors agreed with John's assessment of the executive, and happily agreed to train John in copywriting. After writing advertising copy for the next two decades, John teamed with an old friend to develop a television sitcom, Hey Dad!, which went on to air for eight years. John began writing Ranger's Apprentice for his son, Michael, ten years ago, and is still hard at work on the series. He currently lives in the suburb of Manly, Australia, with his wife. In addition to their son, they have two grown daughters and four grandsons. What Our Readers Are SayingAdd a comment for a chance to win!
