About this listen

Will is small for his age, but agile and energetic. All his life, he has dreamed of becoming a great knight like the father he never knew, so he is devastated when he is rejected as an apprentice to Castle Redmont's Battleschool. Instead he is apprenticed to Halt, the mysterious Ranger whose uncanny ability to move unseen is thought to be the result of black magic. Reluctantly, Will learns to use a Ranger's secret weapons: a bow and arrow, a mottled cloak and a stubborn little pony. It may not be the sword and battlehorse he longs for, but when Will and Halt set out on a desperate mission to prevent the assassination of the King, Will finds that a Ranger's weapons are not so useless after all....

From age 7, 10 and adults, a resounding vote of confidence from us all. A wonderfully written story with very human characters which was extremely well performed. We’ve bought books 2 and 3 and the kids are already asking for more car journeys to listen to them!

Loved by the whole family

So just wanted to say that this is amazing it is so good and is like sad and happy. The characters amongst my favorites is tug and holt. Tug is just funny and brave and sometimes even affectionate. Holt is strong and silent and one of the best Rangers I have ever heard about. Then it comes to the bad guys like brin and alder and the other boy that to me is hard to remember also the kalkara. The bully's are just mean mean mean and mean because all they do is make horiss' life hell. Calling him baby and making him believe that they were supposed to do all this and he was supposed to obey them seriously I think that they deserved the beating. The kalkaras are just bad I don't think I should not dwell on it. Though I love this book!
