The Outcasts

(3) 4-6 Brotherband Chronicles series. In this new companion series to Ranger's Apprentice, Hal Mikkelson enters Skandian (read: Viking) "brotherband" training as the leader of a group of underdogs. The band's clever thinking and teamwork--and Hal's revolutionary sail design--propel them to victory. Flanagan's sympathetic characters and meticulous descriptions of the band's training (races, strength tests, military-style discipline, sailing) will gratify boys and tomboys alike.
