But if he thinks that is going to stop her, he's wrong. She stows away on his ship. Aboard the same ship is a mysterious box meant to be delivered to the Emperor himself.

The illustrations in this book are all so brilliant, so funny and I can't help but find myself wanting to look at this book again and again, re-reading and seeing all the fun things that happen. There's something so great about this book, a combination of the fun story and knowing that some parts of the story are actually real makes this book so fun and educational too. * The Strawberry Post * It would be a perfect to encourage reading for pleasure in Years 4, 5 or 6 but also an ideal resource to reinforce curriculum work on the Vikings.
