Book description
Will, there's something you should know. Something I should have
told you long ago...
There are stories about the Rangers that have never been
heard before and it's time for you to hear them. Stories about your
parents and how you came to be an orphan. About how a Ranger's life
was saved. And about what happens next for you and your loyal friends.
Are you ready to hear the truth?
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.
