Narration Concering Books The Outcasts (Brotherband Chronicles #1)
From the author of the global phenomenon Ranger's Apprentice!They are outcasts. Hal, Stig, and the others - they are the boys the others want no part of. Skandians, as any reader of Ranger's Apprentice could tell you, are known for their size and strength. Not these boys. Yet that doesn't mean they don't have skills. And courage - which they will need every ounce of to do battle at sea against the other bands, the Wolves and the Sharks, in the ultimate race. The icy waters make for a treacherous playing field . . . especially when not everyone thinks of it as playing. John Flanagan, author of the international phenomenon Ranger's Apprentice, creates a new cast of characters to populate his world of Skandians and Araluens, a world millions of young readers around the world have come to know and admire. Full of seafaring adventures and epic battles, Book 1 of The Brotherband Chronicles is sure to thrill readers of Ranger's Apprentice while enticing a whole new generation just now discovering the books.
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.

HOLY CRAP HOLY CRAP HOLY CRAP!THIS BOOK WAS SO AWESOME!i cannot believe he ended like that!!!!no john flanagan! u must not do this to us!!!!!!!!!nooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!how long must i wait for the next?! how long?! how long must i suffer?!ok so anyway, i am calm now.so to any who was just thinking about reading this book, let me give you a basic run-down of what to expect. the book opens to a scene where erak and his crew r raiding some village. it is ridiculously easy, which makesIf you think Vikings on boot camp then that's pretty much what this book is.The book begins with a guide to sailing terms with definitions to terms such as starboard and yardarm. Well, personally I would have put this at the end. Anyone picking this up and reading from the beginning might plough through this technical bit before giving up because it is a little bit of a chore, or was for me at least, and that would be a real shame.After that false start the book follows 16-year-old Hal, a
Have I reviewed the Rangers Apprentice series? No?! Wait! What? Seriously! I cant believe that I havent reviewed Rangers Apprentice. I really really need to review that series. It is like the best series ever! But, I am not reviewing that series right now. I am reviewing the first book in the Brotherband Chronicles, The Outcasts. I really enjoyed this book. It was super good and intriguing. Hal was a great main character, but do you know who I liked even more? Ladies and gentlemen, please
Hal, an outcast mentored by an outcast, befriend by outcasts, is a well-written character in the midst of a somehwat expected plot. Yet, for all the familiarity of the plot, and even some of the characters, I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Flanagan has a way of taking some familiar characters and giving them a new look and a new way of dealing with tough situations. At first, it seems that Hal is up against his entire society, but we find that he has unexpected allies, and his wits serve him well
As someone who read the entire Ranger's Apprentice series, I enjoyed this book immensely and plan to read the others as well. It is similar to The Ranger's Apprentice in many aspects, but contains a completely different style of life, as it takes place in Skandia and not Araluen. From the very beginning we see Hal, as he is the main character, and his mentality on life. He is sort of negative due to the fact that he stays away from the other kids and tends to keep to himself, Stig, or Thorn. At
"What a brotherband!" he declared. "A thief, a touchy first mate, a shortsighted bear, a joker, two twins who can't tell each other apart, a bookworm and a skirl who doesn't know the right shape of a ship's sail" He beamed at all of them, and he added, "I can't think of better qualities in a wolfship's crew"sinbad + how to train your dragon - dragons4.5 STARSthis book THIS BOOK13 year old me is so happy 20 year old me read this booki'm so young againand i love iti comic-ed/illustrated a scene
Such a joy to read! Hal is a great lead character. The creation of his brotherband is a compelling story about how they receive rigorous training to become cunning, skilled warriors, and compete with other local brotherbands. Hal grows convincingly into his natural role as an inspiring, fair but firm leader, and learns that leaders also make mistakes, that can have far reaching consequences. Hals relationship with Thorn, his dads best mate, is moving at times and a welcome addition to the story.
