Ranger’s Apprentice:Erak’s Ransom by John Flanagan

This is a perfect series for any boy, or fan who loves Lord of the Rings, Star Wars (with out the science fiction aspect) or a tame game of thrones.  It's non stop adventure and page turning read.
Danger at every turn.  This series is a must for any library.  Read about loyalty, survival and facing death on a battle field of hot desert sand.  Enjoy!
