How to host a Ranger's Apprentice book club
The food
You can’t have a fabulous book club without fabulous snacks to accompany it. Luckily, there are plenty of Ranger-themed bites you can bring along.
If you want to go all-out, try your hand at baking Jenny’s famous mince pies. Want to keep it simple? Pack a lunch fit for Will Treaty including apples, cheese, bread and meat.
To wash it all down, make some honey coffee for a true Rangers experience.

The garb
Costumes make everything more fun, so why not dress up as your favourite Ranger’s Apprentice character for your book club event?
This guide will teach you how to create a Will, Halt or Alyss costume so that you can emulate your favourite character.
Alternatively, you can also make your own Ranger’s Apprentice cloak – perfect for picturing yourself in Araluen.

The books
With your book club, select a specific Ranger’s Apprentice book to discuss on the day of your gathering. Before the event, everyone should re-read the book (or read it for the first time) so that it’s fresh in their minds for discussion.
If you’re having trouble selecting which book to start with, preview the beginning of a few options to see which one interests you most.
Of course, there are many more to choose from – but starting near the beginning of the series will allow newcomers to the Ranger’s Apprentice world to catch up.
The entertainment
Keep the discussion going by having some entertainment prepared. Despite being crafted for the classroom, these Ranger’s Apprentice Teachers’ Notes will give you some interesting conversation points to start with.
You can also check out profiles of the different Ranger’s Apprentice horses and take quizzes to figure out which character you’re most like and which occupation you’d have in the world of Ranger’s Apprentice.
