Set in 1005 AD, twins Brus and Jan go a-Viking with their father Harald Redbeard and all their household. They plan to settle in England with Danish relatives there. But, their ships are caught in a fierce gale on the North Sea, and they are taken far off course to the western shore of Scotland. Held captive by a cunning Scottish Laird, Jan and Brus must navigate the political intrigue of chieftain, clan, and king without the help of their father, who has been killed and their mother, who is believed lost at sea. They follow adventure after adventure until they earn their freedom and find a home in Scotland at last.

    Wonderful read aloud for 10-13 year old boys! Covers England, Scotland, Vikings,...during the time of Merlin and Sir Lance Alot. We get to witness vikings encounter believers in Christ for the first time. Its refreshing and captivating in its authorship as well as illustration.

    I chose this book from my town library, an 8/9-year-old girl in 3rd/4th grade, and never forgot it.
    (I remembered its title to Google it, didn't I?) It awoke a love of medieval history that brought me to England as a college exchange student in 1974. I can see why it's recommended for boys, but I loved it! More recently, I read Ken Follet's Pillars of the Earth, which evoked a similar curiosity about that era.

    Using an unusual literary device, De Angeli recreates the drama of 10th C. Scotland. Twin Viking lads, orphaned in Scotland thru treachery, pretend to be only one boy in order to allow the other to spy and work toward their freedom. A beautiful story in which some characters are influenced by the Christianity present in Scotland at that time.

    Great read-aloud, as are all of De Angeli's books (this one is more for boys, but could be read to a mixed group). Also ideal for boys, grades 4/5 to 7/8, as an independent read. 191pp Some archaic terms used for flavor. Laird instead of Lord, tis instead of it is, twill replaces it will, and others.

    From the flyleaf: ""Now we shall go a-Viking," Harald Redbeard announced, and so it was that Jan and Brus, Harald's twin sons, found themselves on the dragon-prowed Raven of the Wind, its striped sails set for the north of England. But storms, ancient enemies of the seafaring Norsemen, swooped down, and in their wake left disaster. Ragnhild, the mother, and her ship were lost, the Raven wrecked on the Isle of Skye, a stronghold of the giant Scot, Began Mor.

    And that was how Jan and Brus met Gavin, the Black Fox of Lorne, and began the long journey that was to take them across half the wild land of Scotland, in search of their mother and their father's murderer.

    The story is like a panorama of Scotland in the tenth century after Christ. Loyal clansmen at war with marauding Picts and invading Englishmen; arrogant, powerful lairds - all move through a landscape of heather-topped hills, wind-swept forbidding castles. And among them go the young Norsemen, from croft to castle to battlefield, practicing the clever deception that saved their lives. For no one in this strange land knew that there were two boys, identical in appearance, and by the time the secret was revealed it had served its purpose and the (a few words missing here) was ended."

    We love almost all of Marguerite D'Angeli's books. We have especially loved Petite Suzanne and Yonie Wondernose, and have read at least seven of her books. This is longer, denser and slower. We were doing a unit on Vikings and the story is interesting but just gets bogged down in the middle, I felt. I would recommend it for an older middle school student, and perhaps not a read-aloud as we were doing. There are some darker and difficult themes than in many of her North American-based stories.
