Valley of the Vikings
Book Review
One of my favourite parts was when Emily, Aaron and Shona swim to the sea floor so they can find out more about Emily’s bangle, because the description is really good
In this book my favourite character was Frida, a Viking warrior, and leader of the Viking ship that was lost a thousand years ago. She is so strong and also is in love with a God! I also really like Shona (a full mermaid) and Emily’s best (mer) friend. She has a cool catchphrase ‘swishy’, which means amazing. Emily’s other best friend is called Mandy (she is human) and is very smart, Aaron is also one Emily’s friend and lives at Neptunes palace!

I thought the story line was very good, and I could understand everything, I read it in two days. I really enjoyed this book, and I thought it was so cool that there was Vikings in it, I haven’t read any of the other books, but I could follow along perfectly.
I give it a 5/5!
About the Book
Neptune and Thor battle for power and their fight upsets the balance of the world. Lightning strikes, curses fly and towering waves swallow a Viking longship and its crew into a watery valley, taking with it the secret of the magical blue crystals.
A thousand years later, Emily, a girl who is half human, half mermaid, discovers a bangle with a mysterious and beautiful blue crystal. With the help of her human and mer friends, she discovers the truth about the jewel – and the danger the world faces. The team must race against time to persuade the powerful but notoriously selfish gods of sea and sky to make peace with each other, before disaster strikes.
