Puffin Books The Battle of Hackham Heath

My 13 year old daughter and I love these books! They have great stories, and little things that we can both talk about and have inside jokes with.

Always loved this book series, recommended for all ages. I read it at the same time as my young son and we both really enjoyed it

Really good condition even had the dust jacket so happy and impressed

Received in mint condition, havn't read it yet but sounds wonderful

Author John Flanagan's saga, "The Ranger's Apprentice", might seem complete after 12 volumes, but there are still tales to tell. "The Battle of Hackham Heath" is the second volume in the prequel to the series. The adult heroes of the apprentice saga are all young here, which is appropriate as the books are especially directed toward adolescents and young adults. Of all the characters, it is the Ranger Halt who is especially featured in the the prequel volumes. We can follow him as he learns the life of the ranger during the most difficult period for the kingdom. The story here closely follows volume 1 of the prequel, and foreshadows the main dramas of the entire saga.Many of the favorite characters of the saga appear in the prequel. Without giving anything away of their later adventures, they are able to demonstrate the strong points of their personalities. Flanagan shows his mastery of the narrative form, giving the reader intense drama and bright humor as he lets his stories (and the legend of the Rangers of Araluen) unfold.
