A To Z Challenge: BOOK NOOK REVIEWS "V"







Title:  Vikingworld, The Age of  Seafarers and Sagas
Author: Robert McLeod               
Publisher:  Carlton Books
Ages: 9-11

Synopsis:

Can you hear the splashing of oars against the waves and the strange warlike cries of Vikings approaching the shores? It’s time to be cast back in time to the mysterious age of runes, raids, and sagas!

Why you should read it: 

I have a passion for cultural history and a fascination for learning all I can about the lives from the distant past. The artwork of this book captured my immediate attention but it was the well laid out chapters covering the life and times of the mighty Vikings that kept me riveted to each page. Taken from the journals of the author’s grandfather, Tom McLeod, this book invites readers to dig deeper into what it meant to be a Viking as well as what conquered nations had to endure when those longboats sailed into their harbors.

Blurb:

Addie comes from a long line of readers or "story catchers" as her family likes to call themselves. Every time Addie tries to catch a story on her own the wiggly words play tricks on her. She tries different ways to make those words sit still but it will take a little faith for Addie to become the next STORY CATCHER.
