Book description
Will, trust in your friends, we will not let you down.
You have been kidnapped by a fearsome wolfship captain, and are
trapped on a ship headed to the icebound land of Skandia.
Your future looks dark, as you face a life of backbreaking slavery.
But you must be strong. Remember your training, and know that your
friends will do anything to rescue you, even if they have to defy the King.
John Flanagan began his working life in advertising before moving
to freelance writing and script editing. He has written TV jingles and
comedy-drama for television, and is one of Australia's more prolific
TV writers.
John wrote the first book in the Ranger's Apprentice series to
encourage his twelve-year-old son to enjoy reading. Michael was a
small boy, and all his friends were bigger and stronger that he was.
John wanted to show him that reading was fun, and heroes weren't
necessarily big and muscular. Now in his mid-twenties, Michael is six
feet tall, broad-shouldered and powerful - but he still loves the
Ranger's Apprentice.
John lives in the beachside Sydney suburb of Manly.
