Thorfinn and the Awful Invasion

You might think all Vikings are rough, tough, mean hairy and smelly. But Thorfinn is no ordinary Viking!

Fed up with Thorfinn's too-nice ways, his dad, Harald the Skull-Splitter, sends his son on a voyage to Scotland to earn his gruesome Viking name.

Will Thorfinn the Nicest avoid being thrown overboard?

P.S. Also contains snarling, axe throwing and scones with jam.
