John Flanagan best books, ranked

John Flanagan — 9 titles in the rankings, first published between 2004 and 2012. They average 8.1, above the 7.8 the whole catalogue averages. 2 of the series have a reading order worth keeping to.

Editor’s note Ranger’s Apprentice follows Will, a small orphan who expects to be a knight but is apprenticed instead to Halt, a gruff Ranger skilled in archery, tracking and stealth. Exciting, warm adventure for younger readers. Start with The Ruins of Gorlan and read in order; the ratings are remarkably even, with The Burning Bridge a touch ahead. Brotherband, starting with The Outcasts, is a sea-going spin-off that rates as highly.
