Publisher's summary

From John Flanagan, author of the worldwide best-selling Ranger's Apprentice, comes a brand-new chapter in the adventures of young Skandians who form a different kind of family - a brotherband.

When the Brotherband crew are caught in a massive storm at sea, they're blown far off course and wash up on the shores of a land so far west that Hal can't recognize it from any of his maps. Eerily, the locals are nowhere in sight, yet the Herons have a creeping feeling they are being watched.

Suddenly the silence is broken when a massive marauding bear appears, advancing on two children. The crew springs into action and rescues the children from the bear's clutches, which earns them the gratitude and friendship of the local Mawagansett tribe, who finally reveal themselves. But the peace is short lived. The Ghostfaces, a ruthless, warlike tribe who shave their heads and paint their faces white, are on the warpath once more. It's been 10 years since they raided the Mawagansett village, but they're coming back to pillage and wreak destruction. As the enemy approaches, the Herons gear up to help their new friends repel an invasion.

In this sixth book in the action-packed Brotherband Chronicles, the Herons find themselves in unfamiliar lands and prepare for battle with a ruthless, unknown enemy.

Critic reviews

"[A] vigorous offshoot of the Ranger’s Apprentice series." (Booklist)

"This enjoyable, old-fashioned tale should have easy appeal for Flanagan’s many fans, who are already invested in the world he’s created." (Publishers Weekly)

"Well developed and vocabulary rich, with endearing new characters and a rousing adventure that assures new episodes, this book will delight Flanagan fans." (School Library Journal)

amazing book

it is a beautifully crafted book with a great story and amazingly well written characters.

Great story!

These Brotherband stories are so good because you learn about the details of sailing and in other books, the lives of people in that era and setting. I especially like learning the details of being Rangers . There are always adventures and problems to overcome. I especially liked this book because of the example of brotherhood and friendship.

This book was a great continuation of John Flannigan's series. His writing always keeps me entertained and captivated.

A wonderful story

I don't particularly enjoy the accents the narrator chooses to use, but other than that, it's a fun listen.

Feels like I am there!

It is amazing how John A. Flanagan can keep his series going and always so great. I got interested with his Ranger's Apprentice Series and had to try his Brotherband Chronicles. He doesn't let us down. Fresh new stories and great characters. You feel like you are right there with the Brotherband. This one finds them off course and landing in a new land with new problems. I love the narration by John Keating. He does the characters justice and you hate to put it down.
