"Readers of all ages and experience will tumble into the greatest Viking adventure as soon as they open the book. Viking information and illustrations of the madcap Viking World are placed tantalizingly inside the front cover and there is a code to crack for older kids in the back. Foley's colorful and detailed illustrations ensnare the readers whilst Jorgensen's characters and cleverly structured parallel storylines propel them at full throttle until the final page." --"West Australian"
