9+: Rangers Apprentice 11: The Lost Stories - John Flanagan

Release Date: 06/10/11

BOOK BLURB:

Will, there's something you should know. Something I should have told you long ago...

There are stories about the Rangers that have never been heard before and it’s time for you to hear them. Stories about your parents and how you came to be an orphan. About how a Ranger's life was saved. And about what happens next for you and your loyal friends. Are you ready to hear the truth?

REVIEW:

As a huge fan of the series I was sad to see the end of it although this final gem from author John Flanagan takes the reader on a few additional short story adventures to help fill in some gaps within the series history. It’s cleverly done and if you’ll forgive the pun, ranges across the many years of the series.

Add to this some wonderful additions that not only flesh out the world but the characters and the reader is in for a real treat on their final excursion for the moment. If you’ve got into John’s writing, look out for November and his new series Brotherband, which centres around the Skandians. Cracking.

Our Reviewing System

Each title will in addition to having a review will be accompanied by a paw rating out of five. Obviously the more paws, the better the title.

Here's how it breaks down:

- This title is as good as it gets, a novel to set your standards by, you cannot afford to let this one slip by.

- Still a cracking novel, lots to be had from the tale and a great one to own.

- It's OK, its an acceptable tale but by no means is it going to set the world alight

- We're not huge fans, it might appeal to a select few but in our opinion has little to offer the genre or the reader.

- Leave this title well alone, we didn't like it in the slightest and felt that our reading time was completely wasted. Save your penny's for something better.
