The Sea of Trolls
Author(s): Nancy Farmer
Jack was eleven when the berserkers loomed out of the fog and nabbed him. "It seems that things are stirring across the water," the Bard had warned. "Ships are being built, swords are being forged."
"Is that bad?" Jack had asked, for his Saxon village had never before seen berserkers.
"Of course. People don't make ships and swords unless they intend to use them."
The year is A.D. 793. In the next months, Jack and his little sister, Lucy, are enslaved by Olaf One-Brow and his fierce young shipmate, Thorgil. With a crow named Bold Heart for mysterious company, they are swept up into an adventure-quest in the spirit of The Lord of the Rings.
Award-winner Nancy Farmer has never told a richer, funnier tale, nor offered more timeless encouragement to young seekers than "Just say no to pillaging."
Review(s):
"Nancy Farmer goes a-viking and returns with magic."
-- Associated Press
"A hugely entertaining story sure to appeal to fans of The Lord of the Rings."
-- Kirkus, starred review
"Readers will want to sail through these nearly 500 pages to find out what happens to young Jack and his sister, Lucy...."
-- Publishers Weekly, starred review
"This exciting and original fantasy will capture the hearts and imaginations of readers."
-- School Library Journal, starred review
"Heroic."
-- USA Today
