... [T]his title by John Flanagan demonstrates wonderfully that you don't have to be the biggest guy in the pack to help make a difference or the strongest and that thought can a lot of the time out do brute force.
Add to this a wonderful story that takes the young reader on a fantasy journey as an apprentice learns the trade of the Ranger and discovers friendships can last and be forged despite the start that you have in life. It's clever, it's got great courage and fully supports the positive mental attitude that we all wish we could instil. Finally add to this a huge story arc, cracking characters that the reader will love to hang around and it's a tale that will have the reader demanding more. Great stuff.
