All those moms and dads out there take note - John Flanagan’s books are to young readers today what the following books were to our grandparents and parents of yesteryear: Eric Knight’s - ‘Lassie Come Home’ (1940), Jim Kjelgaard’s – ‘Big Red’ (1945) and ‘Fire Hunter’ (1951), Wilson Rawls’ - ‘Where The Red Fern Grows’ (1961), and Betsy Byars - ‘My Dog My Hero’ (2000). Flanagan’s books are ideal to get young boys and girls 8 to 13 years of age - reading. I cannot imagine how many emails and letters John Flanagan received from his fans to give us more of: Will, Halt, Horace, Alyss, and the rest of the cast from The Ranger’s Apprentice series. The Tournament at Gorlan - Ranger’s Apprentice – The Early Years may omit some of our favourite characters, but Halt, Crowley and Morgrath are there and this book does not disappoint.
