The Icebound Land: Book Three (Ranger's Apprentice)
Date undefinedIf you have been training to be a ranger and are captured by Vikings with a girl that turns out to be a Princess, you'll like this book. Your friend, Hoarce, a former enemy trying to become a knight, and your teacher, Halt, a grim-faced man who has recently been banished from their kingdom, are trying to save you. That's what happens to Will in John Flanagan's Rangers Apprentice Book 3: The Icebound Land. Will is an orphan whose parents died in a war. Will's adventure with the Vikings all started when he was captured by four Skandians, Vikings that hoard items and think the best way to die is while fighting in a war. The he gets sold as a slave to Renark, the Skandian leader. But Will meets a Viking named Erik who will prove to be a very good friend.
The Icebound Land is a suspenseful, creative, and well-written book. I thought it was a great book. If you like this book, you might like Book 4: The Battle for Skandia.

The Icebound Land: Book Three (Ranger's Apprentice)
Date undefinedI purchased this book for my son, who loves to read. He tore through this book and two others in the series. He is now re-reading the first book, planning to read all three again. Very absorbing book, he couldn't seem to put it down.
The Icebound Land: Book Three (Ranger's Apprentice)
Date undefinedLike Harry Potter, Ranger's Apprentice is written with kids in mind but is enjoyable by all ages. Kids will find themselves drawn into the story while parents will enjoy knowing their children are learning the values of honesty, friendship, and accountability - or are re-enforcing those attributes.
The first story begins with a young 15 year old boy (Will) who is an orphan. He dreams of going to battleschool and becoming a knight like he believes his father was before his death. However, life has another path in store for our young hero ...and it's a great one indeed. Filled with horrible creatures, battles, knights, damsels in distress, cool horses, etc. this series will keep the interest of even the most anxious of boys and girls. The characters are all believable and well written. Just be sure to start with book one!
