Jango by William Nicholson

Seeker, Morning Star and the Wild Man discover that the mysterious warrior sect they had been so desperate to join is not quite what it appears from the outside. Disillusioned they leave to find their own way in the world. But now at least they have acquired the remarkable physical skills of the Nomana... and they are certainly going to need them.

On Seeker, published in 2005, the Guardian wrote: 'a timeless piece of storytelling'TES wrote: 'an original, inventive story, cleverly plotted and full of interesting characters.' The Bookseller said: 'Seeker (is) an elegantly written story set in a distant past but with everything to say to today's readers.' The Daily Telegraph said'..an engrossing and thoughtful adventure story that held my attention from beginning to end.'
