Velda the Awesomest Viking and the Wild Unicorn Chase
£6.99
Also available as: eBook
Velda is a tiny warrior with a BIG axe and an even BIGGER attitude. Some people don’t think girls can be proper Vikings. Velda doesn’t agree!
A troublesome troll is terrorising the kingdom of Frisia, and he’s stolen Velda’s beloved axe!
The only way to defeat him is with a special potion made from unicorn horn. But wait! Unicorns are extinct, aren’t they?!
Join Velda on a voyage of daring, discovery and er, unicorn doo-doo, all while proving she’s the awesomest Viking around.
Reviews
'Vikings and unicorns are a powerhouse pairing. I love that strong (if sometimes tiny) female characters take centre stage in this laugh-a-minute romp with the crew of the Mangy Mutt.'
-- Library Girl and Book Boy
Praise for Thorfinn the Nicest Viking
'Hand these to fans of How to Train Your Dragon.'
-- School Library Journal
'With short chapters and plenty of laughs on every page, this highly entertaining series of Viking antics is ideal for confident independent readers. Hilarious illustrations accompany the witty text, and there are puzzles and trading cards to be enjoyed at the end of the book.'
