Brotherband Chronicles 3

Once again John Flanagan has delivered a book that has it all; characters you like and can relate to, a warm and satisfying relationship between young and old, a quest full of action that keeps you reading into the late hours of the night, a dastardly villain and, of course, a hint of romance. And did I mention humor?

"The Hunters" is the third and final book in this companion series to "The Ranger's Apprentice" series which I, and so many students,  have loved. 

Hal and his Brotherband of misfits are still on the trail of the pirate Zavac who has stolen a priceless artifact from their home while they were charged with its safety. Determined to retrieve it after being humiliated they are always one step behind.  With Ingevar gravelly ill and needing rest they let their nemesis escape down the Dan River heading towards a pirate refuge. They follow at last but each town they encounter put up road blocks that are challenging and need wit and just plain courage to overcome.

Hal is determined to get back the Andomel at any cost. It is his confidence in himself and his crew that are put to the test but you care about each of these characters and are on the edge of your seat till the end.

A very good and exciting read.
