Beskrivning
Prepare yourself for the wrath of the Norsemen! That is, if you don't mind and it's not too inconvenient...Everyone knows Vikings are ruthless barbarians whose idea of a good time involves pillaging, plundering and feasting. But Thorfinn is no ordinary Viking! He is always polite and happily offers to wash the dirty dishes. Too bad his dad is Harald the Skull-Splitter, Village Chief and the roughest and toughest Viking of them all.On a raiding voyage to Scotland, Thorfinn and his friends Velda and Oswald are kidnapped by Ranald MacRanald, chieftain of the Clan MacRanald. Little does Ranald he know that his methods of 'torture' (making the Nicest Viking sew with the women and clean the castle from top to bottom) are actually Thorfinn's idea of a brilliant Scottish holiday! Will Chief Harald the Skull-Splitter come to his son's 'rescue' before Thorfinn drives the Rotten Scots crazy with politeness?Thorfinn the Nicest Viking is a funny, illustrated, action-packed new series for young readers which bridges the gap between Horrid Henry and Diary of a Wimpy Kid, set in a world where manners mean nothing and politeness is pointless!

Recensioner i media

'This character [Thorfinn] is pretty irresistible.'-- Goodreads, Barbara'Thorfinn may be the world's worst Viking, but his story makes a delightful and entertaining read... told with excellent pace and lots of humour... This title will be much enjoyed by newly confident readers, as it is presented with many amusing drawings, a clear large typeface, controlled but never dull vocabulary and short chapters. But it is the story, with its clear strong characters and amusing twists and turns, supported by lively and engaging illustrations, that will keep them reading and laughing to the end.'-- Carousel, Liz Dubber
