THE VIKING
BY
Marti Talkbott
At not
quite fifteen, Stefan’s father finally let him board the longship Sja Vinna to
take part in his first Viking raid. Yet, the battle was not at all what he
expected and he soon found himself alone and stranded in Scotland.
Thirteen-year-old Kannak’s problem was just as grave. Her father deserted them and the only way to survive, she decided, was to take a husband over her mother‘s objections. Suddenly she was helping a hated Viking escape. Could Kannak successfully hide a Viking in the middle of a Scottish Clan? And why was someone plotting to kill the clan's beloved laird?

MY THOUGHTS…
At last,
the day has come, Stefan has finally been allowed to board his father's Viking
longship and go on his first raid. What he didn’t count on was being left
behind in Scotland.
Kannak is thirteen and is alone with her mother - as her father has abandoned them. She has decided that the only way for them to survive is to marry, so they will have someone to help work the land.
Then she meets Stefan…and life will never be the same again!
This young adult book is one that had me hooked from the beginning. The romance that is weaved into the storyline is beautiful. The relationship between Kannak and Stefan developed over the course of the story and was very believable.
My favourite character is Stefan, for, although he is a Viking, he fits right into the Scottish clan without any problems and cares deeply for the two women who work their way into his life.
I also like the fact that this book wasn’t written as most books are. The clan is Scottish, so when they are speaking, they are speaking the way a Scottish clan would. I could almost hear them talking as I read it.
I Highly Recommend this book to anyone.
