More About the Author

John Flanagan grew up in Sydney, Australia hoping to be a writer. It wasn't until he wrote a highly uncomplimentary poem about a senior executive at the agency he worked, however, that his talent was revealed. It turned out one of the company directors agreed with John's assessment of the executive, and happily agreed to train John in copywriting. After writing advertising copy for the next two decades, John teamed with an old friend to develop a television sitcom, Hey Dad!, which went on to air for eight years. John began writing Ranger's Apprentice for his son, Michael, ten years ago, and is still hard at work on the series. He currently lives in the suburb of Manly, Australia, with his wife. In addition to their son, they have two grown daughters and four grandsons.

This review is from: Ranger's Apprentice: Oakleaf Bearers (Paperback)

My 12-year-old son loves this series, and we'd highly recommend it. But note that this book, Oakleaf Bearers, was published in the U.S. as The Battle of Skandia.

This review is from: Ranger's Apprentice; Oakleaf Bearers (Paperback)

Excellent book...However, I purchased it at a enormously elevated price. I didn't realize that Oakleaf Bearers is simply the 4th book in the Ranger's Apprentice Series but with a different title. (It has been released in the USA for awhile and can easily be purchased. I thought it was a new book in the series that I hadn't heard of and bought it at 5x the normal price...my fault.) Love the book, though. Great author!!!
