The Brotherband Chronicles book 1: The Outcasts

This book is the companion series to Rangers Apprentice which are both by John Flanagan.  The main story is about the Brotherband training to become a Skandian warrior.  Brotherband training essentially where he and his fellow Brotherband members compete in a series of events in competition of 2 other teams.  This book was so amazing I read through it in a day!  Totally a 5 of 5
