Voyage to Valhalla
Illustrated by Victor Ambrus
(Hodder Children's Books)
978-0340590546, RRP £3.50, Paperback
8-10 Junior/Middle
A bitter curse on a viking burial howe exerts its potent and fatal influence on three youngsters, intrigued by the goings-on in the garden of an eerie, sinister house. Davy particularly appears open to long-laid powers that draw him apart from his friends into a good vs evil struggle. There's a briskness in the description and a tightness in the plotting which requires a sharp inner eye to grasp the whole.
