If you’re looking for a great adventure the kids will love, John Flanagan is not only a household name but one of our favourite go-to fantasy authors. Best-known for his Ranger’s Apprentice<\/em><\/a> series, John continued to bring his fans what they wanted in the Brotherband series. Now John is back with book seven, The Caldera<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn a playground when they\u2019re getting together a team for basketball or cricket, there\u2019s always a few kids left out, who aren\u2019t wanted. They\u2019re my Brotherband. They\u2019re the ones who are left out. That\u2019s where the Brotherband began.\u201d – John<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The world of John Flanagan is a magical one, a place kids (and adults!) come back to time and time again. With strong and relatable characters, epic adventures and quick wit, it’s no surprise John’s books are\u00a0popular around the world. John Flanagan’s Ranger’s Apprentice<\/em> series began when John wanted to encourage his twelve-year-old son, Michael to enjoy reading. Michael was just like how John describes the Brotherband<\/em>, a small boy with bigger friends. John wanted to show his son that heroes weren’t necessarily big and muscular.<\/p>\n
