AMAZING! It's clever, genius, and just leaves you hanging!! Every chapter ends so that you just have to read another! I gobbled this book up!! - I'm halfway through Book 9 right now and I've gotten to really suspenseful part, so I've just had to keep reading, but recently I haven't been reading Rangers Apprentice as often and as quickly as I wanted to (it took me a little while to read Book 8) because it just wasn't as catching and hooking-you-in as the books have been before, but 7 did this almost more than any of the other books have! When you realize just how strong the relationship is between Will and his horse (and there is so much emotion there), you just have to keep reading until Will finds him! (If he ever does!) It's so sad and so intense and so emotional, and just SO everything! It's also clever and genius and all as Will battles the desert and the wild in search of his horse, but the real reason that he's in the desert is not forgotten with the ending suddenly dramatically turning the tables!! Will he save Erak? And will he find Tug before it's too late? READ THIS BOOK AND SERIES!! (my favorite series OF ALL TIME!)

What does it mean to earn the Silver Oakleaf? So few men have done so. For Will, a mere boy, that symbol of honor has long felt out of reach. Now, in the wake of Araluen?s uneasy truce with the raiding Skandians comes word that the Skandian leader has been captured by a dangerous desert tribe. The Rangers are sent to free him. But the desert is like nothing these warriors have seen before. Strangers in a strange land, they are brutalized by sandstorms, beaten by the unrelenting heat, tricked by one tribe that plays by its own rules, and surprisingly befriended by another. Like a desert mirage, nothing is as it seems. Yet one thing is constant: the bravery of the Rangers.
In this red-hot adventure, winner of the Australian Book of the Year Award for Older Children, John Flanagan raises the stakes on the series that has already sold millions of copies worldwide.
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.
