Book description
There is only one way to become a warrior.
Boys are chosen for teams called Brotherbands and must endure months
of gruelling battles in the treacherous sea. Hal finds himself the
unwilling leader of a band of outcasts, the boys that no one wants.
They are small and wiry but what they lack in size, they make up with
skill and courage. Now they must battle against the other bands in the
ultimate race where there can only be one winner.
The icy waters make the sea a dangerous playing field. Especially
when - for some - this is anything but a game . . .
John Flanagan is the award-winning author of

Brotherband
. He lives in the beachside Sydney suburb of Manly.
