All his life, he has dreamed of becoming a great knight like the father he never knew, so he is devastated when he is rejected as an apprentice to Castle Redmont's Battleschool. Instead he is apprenticed to Halt, the mysterious Ranger whose uncanny ability to move unseen is thought to be the result of black magic. Reluctantly, Will learns to use a Ranger's secret weapons: a bow and arrow, a mottled cloak and a stubborn little pony. It may not be the sword and battlehorse he longs for, but when Will and Halt set out on a desperate mission to prevent the assassination of the King, Will finds that a Ranger's weapons are not so useless after all . . .Young readers will discover the power of courage over convention and revel in the exciting blend of skill, resilience, and unexpected heroism that defines this compelling series.______________________________KIDS LOVE THE RANGER'S APPRENTICE SERIES!'So good I couldn't put it down.'

"The world of Araluen and its Rangers is so well constructed it feels like historical fiction. Will and Halt have a dynamic that is both funny, heartwarming, and intriguing. Always fun."

"The only reason I disliked the rangers apprentice series is because it was too slow for me. That’s all. I don’t mean to upset anyone by doing this lol"

"I definitely recommend this book. It takes about 3 to 4 chapters to get into it but once you do it's amazing. The characters (especially halt) are funny and witty and pretty darn relatable. However!! You need to read 1-4 then 7 6 and 5 as the author wrote it out of order (on accident of course 😉) I recommend the entire series to anyone who likes fantasy."

"When Will saves Halt and Crowley from the big beast in the ruins. I love any moment in the series where we really get to see Halt and Will's bond grow. "

"My first ever fully read series as a teenager. Got the books as they came out. Cannot recommend enough as a YA fantasy medieval series. Plenty of intrigue and character building as you go along."
