Those Vikings
‘A really good story, definitely a 5 star rating.’
Trey (12 yrs), Canada
Karl is a modern-day kid who’s dealing with a lot. Worst of all is the Dad Problem. Some dads can be so last century. Karl’s is more 9th century–the time of the Vikings, which makes him (hmm, take nine from this year, multiply by …) 1200 years old! Yeah, right! Probably.
Karl and his new friend, Finch, decide to investigate. They uncover a past filled with dangerous Vikings, an angry Norse God, and Erika, a girl who can outsmart them all.
Those Vikings is a tale of the fortunes of family and friendship.
The author getting a feel for Viking characters.

Those Vikings
Erika stepped back from the cliff’s edge. She glanced at the bowman, who grinned an evil smile. He was close. His next arrow wouldn’t miss. Five more Vikings joined him.
They marched towards her. Erika looked over the edge again, then back to the Vikings. The rod she carried was a dead weight on her shoulder. Her throat bobbed as she tried to swallow. The cool air stung her eyes. The breeze tugged her breath away.
The Vikings closed in. Erika turned and hurled the rod off the cliff. Then she jumped after it.
