Synopsis: The book begins with a crew of Skandian sailing warriors who attack a small town to “relieve them” of their gold and valuables. Title: The Outcasts (The Brotherband Chronicles Book 1) The author was familiar to me as he’s written the bestselling Ranger’s Apprentice series which has been read and loved by many of my male students. I’ll admit that I judged the book by its cover: Viking/pirating ships on a stormy sea are not my usual go-to sort of reading material. Like many of the books I’m reading this summer, this novel is on the summer reading list at my school and is also on the 2014 Rebecca Caudill nominee list. ![]()
