Those Vikings
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. So, Karl’s dad is 1200 years old! Yeah, right!
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 and foibles of family and friendship. Set against the scary backdrop of a Viking invasion, it’s aimed at readers 10-12 years old.
