Recenzii
Praise for Riddle of the Runes 'A book that every aspiring shield maiden should keep close to her heart if she wants her buckles to truly swash. A tale with a big, warm, wild heart.'
'My daughter would not let me put this down. We finished it in one sitting!'
'A ferocious heroine as strong as steel-and a mystery worthy of her skills. You'll love it.'
'This is captivating story brimming with authentic details, and written with sparking prose. It made me wish I were a Viking.'
'Vikings, Christians, dramatic landscapes and wolves. This is the perfect adventure and the best new literary heroine I wish I'd met as a child. Bring on the next Alva adventure. She's awoken my shield maiden!'
'I enjoyed the book very much. The characters were engaging and the story full of life and movement.'
'Vikings! Sassy girl heroes! Runes and wolves! What's not to like?'
'The historical novel arrives for a new generation - Alva is a riddle-solving, crime-busting hero from the Viking Age - my 21st century kids were entranced.'
'A gripping mystery that brings the Viking world to vivid life, with a brave and original heroine who'll inspire young readers (and old!) with a passion for historical adventure.'
'Janina Ramirez has the mind of a history lover, and the heart of a fun-loving adventurer. She has written a classic detective story in which the clues are buried in runic writing and the carvings on a mysterious casket. The book is set in the 'so-called' Dark Ages but brings them to life in an enthralling and contemporary way.'
'Brilliant, warm and exciting!'
'I thought it was fantastic and EXACTLY the kind of book I want my child to read: educational, great role models and very entertaining!'
'This is one of those rare books you can read to a child as they fall asleep and which you'll then stay up the whole night reading yourself. Simply and beautifully written it is an utterly compelling book packed with historical detail, deep characters and a quest that drives you together with Alva and her wolf across the mountains and into the forests of Viking Scandinavia. Only a historian could do this so perfectly.'
'A brilliant, burning tale all set to fire up the fabulous shield maidens and masters of the future and across the world'
'Steeped in Viking lore and enriched with all the vibrant colour of Norse mythology, this is a tale to be enjoyed by all, young or old.'
Readers will pick up a real sense of Viking life as they compulsively turn the pages of this gripping adventure and Alva is a great new character in childrens books.
'David Wyatts illustrations and Ramirezs fast-paced storytelling combine to create a thrilling adventure.'
