Will Treaty and his apprentice, Maddie have been urgently summoned to Castle Araluen. When they arrive they learn a shocking truth: the Prince of Gallica is missing--and the King of Gallica has asked for help. All reports suggest that the young prince has been taken prisoner by the dangerous and powerful Baron Joubert de Lassigny. King Duncan knows that sending troops to Gallica to rescue the prince could start a war, as could openly helping Gallica resolve internal convict. But there's another way to save the prince: the Ranger Corps.

Soon, Will and Maddie are on the road to rescue the missing prince, disguised as father and daughter jongleurs. Maddie will have to use her knifethrowing skills to keep up her disguise, and her ranger's apprentice training to complete the mission. But going undercover is dangerous--and the road presents its own hazards. Can she and Will use all their talents to save the prince, or will the arrogant Baron uncover their plans and put their lives, and their kingdom, at risk?

Praise for The Missing Prince:

"Flanagan builds suspense with well-practiced skill . . . . Tension increases right up to the last page." --Booklist

Critic reviews

"Flanagan builds suspense with well-practiced skill and a flair for the dramatic. Tension increases right up to the last page. . . . The writing offers adventure, wit, and sufficient background information for those new to the Ranger’s Apprentice series to follow the story, but it will be enjoyed most by those who have read one or more of the three previous books in the Royal Ranger subseries, featuring the first girl apprenticed to a ranger." --Booklist

Light hearted enough.

Fun book to listen to. The one thing that gets old very fast is how often the author goes on and on about how people doing think girls are not as capable as boys. So far that seems to be the main theme in all the books in this series.

My son loved it

John Keeting is an accomplished narrator. He brings the book alive. The interaction between Madrid and Will is delightful. Most memorable moment....the interaction between Maddie and the beggar...

Great book!

Another great book! Since reading to the original rangers apprentice books as a kid, I haven’t been able to keep up with the series. This new series has been great for me to get back into it.

Pretty good tale

A good standard work in the series! It's building up for a good climax, so bear that in mind.

Cliff hanger 👎🏾

I love these books have been reading them since I was young. Not a fan of the new style cliff hanger at the end. Amazing story amazing plot but then left wanting which I guess is the point but come on... still getting the next one lol
