will discuss
The Outcasts by John Flanagan,
author of the Ranger's Apprentice
Light refreshments available.
The
Outcasts is book 1 in a brand-new series - The
Brotherband Chronicles.
The Ranger's Apprentice series introduced readers
to the harsh and cold land of Skandia, where this
new series begins.
Hal, the son of a Skandian warrior and a slave,
is an outcast and has to undergo the Brotherband
training that all Skandian warriors have to
undergo. Hal along with other outcast boys
undergo much harsher treatment because they are
not considered as big and strong as the
Skandians. But they have their own kind of skill
and courage that they will need as they enter
into battles at sea. |
