    About this ebook

    While the other Vikings love to holler and howl and battle and brawl, Leif prefers spending time by himself atop the beautiful fjord. But when it’s time for the Viking Games, everyone must participate. Will Leif let down his clan . . . or surprise them? Highlighting the value of nature and earthly wonders, best-selling author Laura Gehl teams up with illustrator Timothy Banks to remind readers to stay true to themselves and to look at things from a new perspective.

      We see many photos of waves like The Right nowadays, to the point that we’ve almost become blasé about what’s going on out there (if you can believe that), but this issue’s cover is a rare gem. Perhaps it’s the girth of the lip, or the light breaking
