Booktalk: Velda is a small girl with a big axe. The only problem is, everyone thinks she can’t be a proper Viking because she’s “just a little girl”. PURLEASE! She sets sail with Freya, captain of the dragonship Valkyrie, and her notoriously ferocious crew for a life of awesome adventure (and very loud belching).
But when the Valkyrie and her crew are captured by the Queen of the Saxons, Velda is the only one who can free her friends. The small and mighty Viking must travel to the mysterious Islands of Deadly Doom, but there’s just one problem, er, well more than one, actually — she doesn’t have a ship, a crew, or a clue how to get there…
Snippet: After a long, cold swim, the three fugitives finally washed up on a craggy shore. Nissa and Henna wrung the water out of their clothes while Velda jumped up and down shouting curses into the distance. “I hope Odin sends a lighting bolt and sinks your boat! Then I hope a whale eats you!”
