Reach for this book when your child feels like they do not fit the traditional mold of success or is struggling with a sense of inadequacy. Tor Scaldbane is a boy who believes his future as a legendary Viking warrior is over, leaving him feeling adrift and shameful. However, he soon discovers that strength comes in many forms, including the power of ancestral stories and the oral tradition of the sagas. This historical adventure explores deep themes of identity and resilience within a high-stakes setting. It is perfect for children aged 8 to 12 who enjoy action but also need to see that 'bravery' can look like intelligence and storytelling rather than just physical combat. It provides a wonderful opening to discuss how heritage can provide a roadmap for our own unique paths.
