Warrior Books






We talked about cool warrior books in March. Then we made swords out of water noodles and had sword fighting tournaments.

Here are the books we talked about

Ranger's Apprentice by John Flanagan: Will is chosen to be the Ranger's apprentice. Rangers are kind of like Medieval spies. The book is cool because it explains the techniques the Rangers use to keep from being seen and to defend themselves from enemies.

The Squire's Tale by Gerald Morris: The Gerald Morris books are based on King Arthur tales. Some of the knights are noble but some are just silly. These books have some really funny parts and other parts that make you think.

Stoneheart by Charlie Fletcher: A boy, George lives in London. When he breaks a statue at a museum, he is thrown into another dimention where all the statues of the city are alive. Some of the statues are good, but others are evil and the statues are at war with each other.

Five Ancestors by Jeff Stone: There are five students at a monastery in China. They are studying different styles of martial arts. When their monastery is attacked, and their mentor killed, the five go on a quest to bring the evil enemy to justice.
