The Outcasts
By John Flanagan
- Release Date: 2011-11-01
- Genre: Fantasy for Kids
Description
From the author of the global phenomenon Ranger's Apprentice!
They are outcasts. Hal, Stig, and the others - they are the boys the others want no part of. Skandians, as any reader of Ranger's Apprentice could tell you, are known for their size and strength. Not these boys. Yet that doesn't mean they don't have skills. And courage - which they will need every ounce of to do battle at sea against the other bands, the Wolves and the Sharks, in the ultimate race. The icy waters make for a treacherous playing field . . . especially when not everyone thinks of it as playing. John Flanagan, author of the international phenomenon Ranger's Apprentice, creates a new cast of characters to populate his world of Skandians and Araluens, a world millions of young readers around the world have come to know and admire. Full of seafaring adventures and epic battles, Book 1 of The Brotherband Chronicles is sure to thrill readers of Ranger's Apprentice while enticing a whole new generation just now discovering the books.
Perfect for fans of J.R.R. Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings, T.H. White’s The Sword in the Stone, Christopher Paolini’s Eragon series, and George R. R. Martin’s Game of Thrones/A Song of Ice and Fire series.

5By Ranger in trainingFinally!!!! I haven't gotten the chance to read The Brotherband Chronicles yet, but I am a die-hard Ranger's Apprentice fan, so I have high expectations for this new series. I have a neighbor who has read all of the Ranger's Apprentice books, as I have, but is also in possession of (I think) both of the Brotherband Chronicles books, and I am green with envy. I look forward to reading more of John Flanagan's fantastic writing. THANK YOU, JOHN FLANAGAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Love this book!
