The name of the author is John Flanagan. He was born Australia and still lives there. He has written 12 books in the RangersApprentice series and is now writing the Brotherband Chronicles. His first book was a New York Times Best Seller.

The second book in the ranger’s apprentice series is about Will and his friends Horace, Evanlyn, and Gilan a current Ranger and former apprentice to Halt, Will’s mentor, are In a country called Celtica going to ask for their aid in the upcoming battle with Morgarath. But what worries them is that all of the celtic people have disappeared and there is no sign of conflict.

I recommend this book because of the author, because he is a great writer and describes everything in the scene. He also gets you loving all of the main characters in the book. Also this is a great series that millions of others have bought. And all the readers love the series and so will everyone else that does.

The Ranger's Apprentice: The Burning Bridge

The Ranger’s Apprentice: The Burning Bridge is an adventure and action packed book, much like its predecessor The Ruins of Gorlan. This book is sure to have you reading on and on.

Halt and Will are chasing a group of wargals, suspecting that they are hunting somebody. They find four wargals chasing a man, kill the wargals after they kill the man, and find battle plans from Morgarath in the man’s bag. Later, Gilan shows up in their house late at night on a mission to the city of Celtica. Gilan, Will, and Horace set off to Celtica,and are surprised with what they find. They find Celtica empty, and Gilan goes to inform the king. Alone, Will and Horace along with a survivor discover something that could change the course of the war. Horace sets off to inform the king of their discovery. In a twist of events, Will and Evalyn find themselves in trouble. Meanwhile Halt, Gilan, and Horace are preparing for war.

I really enjoyed this book, because much like the book before it, it is filled with action and adventure. It is filled with plot twists, cliffhangers, and description, leaving you on the edge of your seat, waiting to see what will happen next. The dialogue makes you feel as if though you are in the story, and the action makes it seem more realistic. The Burning Bridge is definitely a book worth reading.
