Olympians & Rangers
Percy Jackson and the Olympians, Rick Riordan
An adventure-quest with a hip edge. At first glance, Perseus Jackson seems like a loser (readers meet him at a boarding school for troubled youth), but he's really the son of Poseidon and a mortal woman. – School Library Journal
The Ranger’s Apprentice, John Flanagan
A strong debut in a new fantasy series. Will hopes to become a knight; instead, he winds up as a Ranger's apprentice, joining the secretive corps that uses stealth, woodcraft, and courage to protect the kingdom. – School Library Journal
