Will Treaty is an orphan. When he turns 15, he is chosen by the Rangers to serve as an apprentice. Will, who always wanted to be a knight, is wary of the Rangers. Besides, Rangers are rumored to have mystical powers. In reality, Rangers are simply highly skilled protectors of the kingdom. Will learns how to move unseen and unheard, and how to fight with a bow and Ranger's saxe knife. Through the books Will encounters many friends, enemies, and dangers to the kingdom. This series by John Flanagan is clever and full of witty dialogue. I also love Flanagan's descriptions and the scenarios he creates for his characters.
