The Ruins of Gorlan

I began reading the Ranger's Apprentice series because my brother likes them and he has almost all of the books. Book 1 is called The Ruins of Gorlan. The main character in the series is Will. He is 15 years old and is small for his age. Will is training for his chance to become a Ranger. On "Choosing Day" he is not picked to go to Battleschool, but his friend Horace is.

My favorite part of the story is when Will gets a chance to be an apprentice for a Ranger named Halt, but he has to past a test first, and he doesn't even know its a test. Halt tells him to climb a sheer wall to a window that leads to Baron's study. Halt is surprised when Will does it and agrees to take him on as an apprentice.

I really like this series and think the books are fun and interesting to read.
