by John Flanagan
PRMS hardcover 295 pages

He did it again! This story gets to a climax, then leaves us hanging. NOW I know why kids who read these books come into the media center frantically asking for the next book in the series! I was almost tempted to go in to work today to check the next one out! About five years have passed for the characters in Araluen. Will has just been assigned to his first post in Seacliff when the previous ranger decided to retire. He is soon sent on a special mission to the north. Mystery, danger, and unusual alliances ensue. The book ends with Will having failed to rescue Alyss from the duplicitous Keren. . .

I like how Will and Alyss discover Malcolm and the healing work he is doing. I love how Will rescues the dog! And how he makes peace with the Skandians . . . and then gives them the evil John Buttle. These stories are page-turners!
