    2. Gunnar, a 14 year old Viking farm boy, swears an oath to kill Skuli, and avenge his Father's murder. There is NO sequel!!A great adventure through Viking life and the mythology - he becomes a thrall, visits Kaupang and Iceland, meets the Valkaryries, Odin and Vahalla.Older fiction - great book for boys. Double spaced text, serif font and no pictures to support the text, althou some vivid and gruesome illustrations.

I will recommend this book to my higher ability readers to read on their own though.It is a great epic tale, worthy of being told in mead halls in the Viking times! It is an epic quest of a young boy, trying to complete his blood quest to avenge his fathers death. [...]

    6. A young boy swears to avenge his father’s death and is soon involved in a mythical adventure.I thought this book had a really good story but the writing was a bit stilted in places.
