Rating:  - Outstanding series for young readers and their parents!
I have been reading this series to my four children at bed time. It has captivated their attention as well as mine. We catch ourselves reading up to seven chapters some evenings. John Flannagan does a superior job holding our attention, plunging us into the story to the point that we don't want to put the book down. This is the second book in the series. It is well written. It puts my children on the edge of their beds, and I am captivated as well. Mr. Flannagan, is fantastic with character ... Read More
Rating: - A MUST READ
This whole series is absolutely fantastic. I would recommend it for ages 9 & up for level of understanding and interest. The books build on each other with a sort of "to be continued" at the end of each one, so make sure to get all together otherwise you'll be making multiple trips to the store or library. Although you won't find it cheaper anywhere else as Amazon has the best price.
The books are short and entertaining enough to be great as a vacation read for adults, yet just the right ... Read More
Rating: - my son read this without prompting!
I haven't read it myself, but my 12-year-old son (who I almost always have to continually prompt to read something) was picking this up everyday on his own and reading much longer than he is usually willing to. This was not the case with the first book in the series. He hasn't been this into a book since Harry Potter, and I've tried quite a few. I only hope the rest of the books in this series are as engaging.
Rating: - The Burning Bridge
I couldn't just stop at The Ruins of Gorlan. I will read the entire series. I like the author's acknowledgement that ordinary young people can rise to the occasion and be brave and heroic. In this story Will and Horace must travel on a special mission to the neighboring villages of the kindgom to assess the fate of the villagers. They face constant danger. New characters are introduced that add interesting twists and dimensions to the storyline. In the end, Will is taken prisoner by a viking clan, and ... Read More
Rating: - A brilliant book for children!
This book was incredible. So much action and events happen in the one book. Some times, when authors try to cram lots of stuff in one book, it comes out okay. BUT, this book is the exception. This book makes you think about it all day! You can't get it off your mind. This is one of the best books, I've ever read.
