Ranger’s Apprentice – Great series for grade six and up

I’ve just started book five of the Ranger’s Apprentice series by John Flanagan. Fortunately there are at least another 5 for me to read. The young orphan Will is taken in by Ranger Halt, and together they work to keep the kingdom of Araluen safe from evil warlords, Skandian raiders and Temujai warriors. The characters and plot layers are complex and satisfying, and each book leaves you hanging, needing to pick up the next one immediately.
