I'm currently reading Ranger's Apprentice, Book One: The Ruins of Gorlan. This is a fantasy YA book that our school librarian has recommended. The protagonist is a young orphan named named Will. Will has always dreamed of being a warrior, of attending "Battleschool," but when he's chosen to be the Ranger's Apprentice his world is turned upside down. Will always though rangers were weird, social outcasts but he soon learns that they are anything but that. As an apprentice Will trains hard, and he gains much needed self-confidence. He begins to see that his natural skills (climbing and moving quickly and quietly) are necessary attributes for a ranger to possess.
This book is fast paced and exciting. I'm not anywhere near the climax yet, but the tension is building. One of my favorite parts was when they had to face the two gigantic boars. (I won't give away any of the details.) You'll have to read the book yourself if you want to see what happens.
I hope you're finding good books to read this summer. In my next post I'll give you a list of some of my favorite YA books you can add to your summer reading list.
Happy Reading!
Mrs. H.
