Book Description
A hilarious story about what happens to the littlest and loudest Viking when an even littler and louder Viking arrives, perfect for fans of The Princess and the Pony and I Don't Want to Be a Frog. Sven might be the littlest Viking, but he has no trouble making himself known. He has the loudest warrior cry and the fiercest set of teeth. He loves to pillage and plunder. But there's a new kid in town--a warrior princess, who is smaller than Sven and even louder. What's a little Viking to do? "Penfold folds in fun ancient analogues to tried-and-true methods of appeasing cranky little ones, and Roxas's liberal use of a color perhaps best described as neon snot brings a punk edge to her scenes of Viking family life. Irreverent yet tender."--Publishers Weekly, Starred review "A warm tale of family togetherness."--Kirkus "A spirited tale about stopping a tantrum with a story, perfect for storytime or one-on-one sharing."--SLJ

Book Description
A major reassessment of the vikings and their legacy The Vikings maintain their grip on our imagination, but their image is too often distorted by myth. It is true that they pillaged, looted, and enslaved. But they also settled peacefully and traveled far from their homelands in swift and sturdy ships to explore. The Age of the Vikings tells the full story of this exciting period in history. Drawing on a wealth of written, visual, and archaeological evidence, Anders Winroth captures the innovation and pure daring of the Vikings without glossing over their destructive heritage. He not only explains the Viking attacks, but also looks at Viking endeavors in commerce, politics, discovery, and colonization, and reveals how Viking arts, literature, and religious thought evolved in ways unequaled in the rest of Europe. The Age of the Vikings sheds new light on the complex society, culture, and legacy of these legendary seafarers.

Kalina is a peaceful continent ruled by Rutherford Golding, leader of Kalinaland-South and the Twelve Kingdoms. The arrival of Prince Arthur Golding, born a mutant, fulfills the Evil Rain’s prophecy. The realm wants the prince dead because they believe him cursed, so the Queen fakes her son’s death and sends him to grow up with another family in secret. The king’s betrayal leads to his exile and civil war with several unscrupulous leaders seeking Kalina’s throne. Now fully grown, Prince Arthur joins the fight. When the transfiguration takes place, he brings about twelve plagues, monsters, and dragons. He even battles Vikings and divine Nephilim in his conquest for power. A final battle ensues in a place called Nowhere City, where the prince and his allies defend the Twelve Kingdoms from supernatural creatures known as the Dispatched Angels and the four Apocalyptic Horsemen. Prince Arthur was born different and with a specific purpose. He now seeks to prove himself and rewrite his own destiny.
