When We Were Vikings by Andrew David MacDonaldMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Thank you to Scout Press / Simon & Schuster for an advanced copy of this excellent book.
While this book will undoubtedly get compared (favorably) to ,The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, it will earn many of its own accolades as well.
Zelda is a unique character. Mature - yet childlike in some ways, intelligent - but starkly simple. Due to Fetal Alcohol Syndrome she is limited in some ways. She lives with her troubled brother who is fiercely devoted to her and she to him in return.
Her love of Viking culture is her reference to all things and guide in life. Her quest to be a powerful female Viking warrior brings us along on a memorable journey.
I loved this book and Zelda. I will be recommending this for sure!
