'This character [Thorfinn] is pretty irresistible.'
-- Goodreads, Barbara
'Thorfinn may be the world's worst Viking, but his story makes a
delightful and entertaining read... told with excellent pace and
lots of humour... This title will be much enjoyed by newly
confident readers, as it is presented with many amusing drawings, a
clear large typeface, controlled but never dull vocabulary and
short chapters. But it is the story, with its clear strong
characters and amusing twists and turns, supported by lively and
engaging illustrations, that will keep them reading and laughing to
the end.'
-- Carousel, Liz Dubber
