Exciting historical fiction with edge-of-your-seat adventure, sure to keep you reading!
Curious, aren't you? What was it really like to live in Viking times? How did it feel to be an Irish or Norwegian kid with a family much like yours? In answer to J., who wrote: "What is your 4th book in the Viking Quest series about? I was also wondering if it is the last book in the series. Every time I reread one of your books, I notice something I didn't notice before. Can you please put the first chapter of your new book on your website really, really soon? Thank you for writing such wonderful books for all of us readers." |

Take an exciting glimpse into the lives of the intrepid explorers who were the first Europeans to land in North America approximately 500 years before Columbus. We also see the Vikings as merchants, farmers, fishermen, lawgivers, and family people. As Robert Elmer, author of the Young Underground series, put it: "I could almost taste the salt spray as Raiders From the Sea swept me away to another place and another time. This is historical fiction at its best: gripping, well researched, spiritually solid, and with equal appeal to boys and girls. I can't wait to read the next one!" |

"Mom, it's her best one yet!" (from Kylee, age 14, a long-time reader) From Isaac, age 12: "I just couldn't put it down!" "I am 10 years old and I have just finished Raiders from the Sea. I love it! My Mom is the librarian at our church, so I read almost every youth book Mom buys. Out of ALL those, your book is the best book I have ever read! How many are you going to make in the series? I hope you make a lot!" (from Hannah in Kansas) "I love your new Viking Quest books! Soon after my mom picked them up for me I finished Raiders from the Sea. Loved it! The story is a page turner and I liked how original it was." (Cambria, 14) "Dear Mrs. Johnson, Are there only two books in the Viking Quest series? If there are only two could you start writing others right away? !!!!!!!!!!PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE THEM !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" (from Melissa, who is 11 years old and lives in California) Thanks, Melissa. I hope you enjoyed the third book, The Invisible Friend, and that you've found Heart of Courage and The Raider's Promise, too.
