The Burning Bridge, by John Flanagan

This is the second book in the Ranger's Apprentice series.

After the evil beasts in the last book have been killed, Halt knows that it is not enough to stop Morgarath, the vile man who plans to take over Araluen.
Gilan, Will, and Horace go on a scouting trip somewhere (can't really remember). Once in that land, they make an unusual discovery: all the people have disappeared.
While still trying to figure out what is going on, they come across a strange girl that tells them of what happened. Gilan decides this piece of information is vital, and goes on ahead of the three of them back to Araluen.
While still trying to get back to Araluen, Will, Horace, and the strange girl called Evanlyn, run into a pack of wargals that appear to be up to some funny business. The three kids decide to follow them.
They soon discover something that could mean everything. But it is risky; they could be easily be killed.

I really enjoyed this book I think more than the first.
The only thing I did not like was a certain part in which they come across several bandits. This is not a bad thing, but the wordiness dragged it out when it could have taken much less time.
