Book 1 Brotherband series
Rating
*****
The Outcasts is part of a series called Brotherband which is by the same author as the Ranger's Apprentice series and is set about five years after the first Ranger's Apprentice book, which I have already blogged about.
This book is about a group of Skandians who are pretty similar to Vikings. Two young friends have to work together in a brotherband to overcome two rival brotherbands and win the contest to become warriors.
Brotherbands are a training program that teaches boys to become warriors. They have to work together to master sailing a wolf ship which is like a longboat. They must also become ferocious fighters.
Brotherband training is tough, painful and tiring; the trainees must work together and as individuals.
The main characters, Hal and Stig become very close friends and we follow them through the series. They have to guard a precious jewel and then everything goes wrong. The book ends on a very big cliff hanger. Read books two and three to complete the rest of the adventure!

I enjoyed this book because it is interesting fun and sometimes amusing.
I thoroughly recommend John Flanagan!
