Customer Reviews

A fun, exciting, educational book.

During all the adventure and excitement (of which there is plenty) you learn quite a bit about Vikings. My only complaint is that occasionally these historical facts can slow down the story.

A great history and grammar book for children of all ages

Scarlett Ryan Foster surprised me with her historical knowledge and expertise in writing. This book can and should be read by children of all ages as well as adults. The concept of two young Michigan children traveling back in time made me think of "Back to the Future" films only going in the opposite direction. To suddenly find yourself in a foreign country, not know the language or customs, and be able to deal with the problems because you already learned about it in school or from your parents was a great concept. The book not only travels through time but also places that are no longer on the maps of today's world. It teaches grammar in a most delightful way. It also teaches history in a way that makes it enjoyable to read. In so doing children can learn from it and not realize they are doing so. The book may be fiction but it is based on history and the Viking way of life. The author has placed a Glossary in the Appendix, along with a listing of additional sources to help children learn more, and went so far as to list suggested activities for children, students, teachers, parents, and families to do to further educate everyone. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book and learned from it as well and I have been out of school several decades. I recommend this book for any school, library, and family.
