In Ranger’s Apprentice the main character,Will, is an orphan. He lives in the area surrounding the Castle Arulian. On Choosing Day, a day that is special to the orphans only, the masters of each ‘job’ in the castle, such as ranger, horse master/trainer, Battle school, blacksmith, etc., come out and choose an orphan for their apprentice. Will is the smallest of the orphans, but he still wants to be in battle school, where all of the knights are trained. The reason for this is that, when he appeared on the doorstep of the castle, there was a note. The note said that his mother had died when he was born and his father had died a heroic death. Will wanted to follow his father’s footsteps and become a knight because, to him, it was obvious that that was what his father was. But he was slim, short, and quick on his feet.

Christopher Paolini finishes his series
Scheduled release date is November 8th. Go to “Author Scoop” page to see what he has to say about finishing this epic series.
The Order Of Odd-Fish (a really weird book. In a good way)
The reason I say it’s a really weird book is because some of the characters are cockroach butlers. There’s also a Chinese billionaire who becomes a villin and wears green goggles and his name is the Belgian Prankster. Before you meet these crazy people and insects, you meet Jo Larouche. She lives in the hot deserts of California, with her aunt Lily. Her Aunt Lily was having a costume party. After meeting an unusual man, and Sefino, a cockroach in a purple suit, things become strange. Very strange. Jo learns about her terrible birth and has to keep it a secret. Anyone who likes to laugh, books with action and odd statements, characters, and items….. well congratulations! You just found yourself another book to read this summer!
