The Brotherband Chronicles Book 2: The Invaders - John Flanagan

Flanagan, John (2012).  The Brotherband Chronicles Book 2: The Invaders.  New York: Philomel Books.

After the Brotherband competition Hal and the Herons sail off to redeem themselves and catch the thief Zavac before the Andomal is lost forever.


I love these books!  They are such a great read and so interesting in how all of the sailing stuff works!  It is really interesting to see how a ship captains mind would work when going into battle.  Also the loyalty they show each other.  Another great piece of work from John Flanagan.  I am a fan of all of his books!

Join the world of Olympus as it exists today - in America. This is a fantastic book and will make you want to learn more about mythology, or at least pick up the next book to see if you can find another lost hero.
