Aoife Lennon-Ritchie , literêre agent en skrywer, bring die eerste titel in haar humoristiese Viking-fantasie-tienerreeks, A Viking Legend: The Violaceous Amethyst , uit.

Hierdie winter besoek broers en susters Ruairi en Dani Miller hul ouma in die legendariese Viking-eiland Yondersaay. In minder as vier-en-twintig uur na hul aankoms, word Ruairi verwar as die verlore seunkoning van Denemarke, wat deur Vikings ontvoer is en geskeduleer is om teen sononder geoffer te word. Ouma is nie baie ingenome nie. Maar wanneer hulle die enigste in die dorp is wat nie daarin slaag om "Viking" te gaan nie, wend die drie hulle na Ouma se uiters epiese verhale van die legendes van Yondersaay, The Gifts of Odin, en King Dudo the Mightily Impressive vir leidrade.

Maar nie alle stories eindig gelukkig nie, en Ruari, Dani en Ouma sal hul eie gelukkige einde moet skryf as dinge na normaal wil terugkeer. Die Prinses Bruid ontmoet Vikings in hierdie betowerde verhaal van hoë avontuur, begrawe skatte, skurkagtige verraad, gewelddadige eindes en ware liefde.

Spesifikasies: ISBN 9780639934358, A5-portret, 240 bladsye.

* Oorspronklik gepubliseer as 'The Extremely Epic Viking Tale of Yondersaay' deur Month9Books in die VSA (Oktober, 2015).

A Gripping Adventure

I read this book four years ago and still remember it clearly: vivid images come to mind when I think of the story and how it unfolded with surprising twist and turns. There was a wise piece of advice in it that I still give to my children, that went along the lines of: if anyone tries to grab you, turn and run as fast as you can! It was an exciting and fast-paced story that made me laugh out loud in places.

Absolutely hilarious

What a novel just filled to the brim with laughs, perfectly moulded around dramatic tales of high adventure and good old Viking-style fun. Best of all, the characters have real heart and carry the mostly humorous story through internal developments that feel real and honest.

Hilarious

Outrageous yarns from the hilarious Queen spinner of tall tales.

Fun with a capital 'F'

As witty as A Series of Unfortunate Events, highly imaginative and wholly original, it’s a total blast. Chockablock with story, larger-than-life characters, mythology and monsters... It's Fun with a capital 'F'.

Smart, funny, exciting, sincere and rich

Smart, funny, exciting, sincere and rich with the genuine pleasures of story and escape. Making me want to take a yearly journey to Yondersaay, I hardly looked up from reading.”
