- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This is the second book in the Thorfinn series that I have read and I have enjoyed them both. Thorfinn is the Viking Chief, Harald's son, but instead of being barbaric and horrible he is unfailingly polite, nice and co-operative with everyone. In this book the village must prepare a feast for the visiting King and Queen and Thorfinn, who feels the Viking diet is too dependent on meat, decides to prepare a seafood feast. Magnus, the chief of another village, again makes an appearance in this book. He wants to burn Thorfinn's village to the ground so we know he is going to be trying to sabotage the special feast. We meet some new strange and weird characters in this book such as Gertrude the Grotty, a cook, Grut the Goat Gobbler, the greediest man in all of Norway, and Torsten the ship sinker among others. Thorfinn and his crew head off the Orkney to meet his uncle and learn how to cook fish for the feast. They miraculously make it there as well as to Scotland where they are given many different types of fish before heading home. Of course there are a lot of misadventures that turn out just right due to Thorfinn's attitude. Thorfinn may be polite and mild mannered, but he is no wimp. There is a smart and tough hero within, and that hero emerges in a natural and plausible fashion. Of course we can not forget Thorfinn's dad who is constantly perplexed about how he, a fearsome Viking chief, could have such a mild son, but he loves and supports him anyway. The other Vikings are never confident of Thorfinn's likelihood of being victorious, but in every book they root for him and rally round just the same. Velda, the angry girl who tries to teach Thorfinn anger skills and becomes his friend is by his side again helping him when and where she can. This book is shot through with "be true to yourself" messages that seems just right for the target readers.The early chapter book reader (late primary, early junior) end up with a good story, interesting heroes, quality writing, some laughs, and a very engaging reading experience. This is a well written book that would be great for reluctant readers. This book would be a great addition to classroom, school and public libraries.I received a copy of this book from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
