What comes next? Ranger's Apprentice

Finding interesting new pukapuka can be a challenge, especially after your tamariki have devoured a big series in a matter of weeks. That's where the library can help! In this guide we tackle the classic Ranger's Apprentice series by John Flanagan and show you some of the fabulous pukapuka perfect for fans of the series.

Ranger's Apprentice is an awesome series with lots to offer kids of all interests. The entire series has twelve books (plus two novellas), and if you haven't read the spinoff series Brotherband or The Royal Ranger, then we would definitely recommend them. Now for the important bit, here are our recommendations for what to read next after Ranger's Apprentice.
