Críticas

Praise for Riddle of the Runes 'A book that every aspiring shield maiden should keep close to her heart if she wants her buckles to truly swash. A tale with a big, warm, wild heart.' (Frank Cottrell Boyce)

'My daughter would not let me put this down. We finished it in one sitting!' (Dan Snow)

'A ferocious heroine as strong as steel-and a mystery worthy of her skills. You'll love it.' (Lucy Worsley)

'This is captivating story brimming with authentic details, and written with sparking prose. It made me wish I were a Viking.' (Greg Jenner)

'Vikings, Christians, dramatic landscapes and wolves. This is the perfect adventure and the best new literary heroine I wish I'd met as a child. Bring on the next Alva adventure. She's awoken my shield maiden!' (Anita Rani)

'I enjoyed the book very much. The characters were engaging and the story full of life and movement.' (Philip Pullman)

'Vikings! Sassy girl heroes! Runes and wolves! What's not to like?' (David Aaronovitch)

'The historical novel arrives for a new generation - Alva is a riddle-solving, crime-busting hero from the Viking Age - my 21st century kids were entranced.' (Alice Roberts)

'A gripping mystery that brings the Viking world to vivid life, with a brave and original heroine who'll inspire young readers (and old!) with a passion for historical adventure.' (S.J.Parris)

'Janina Ramirez has the mind of a history lover, and the heart of a fun-loving adventurer. She has written a classic detective story in which the clues are buried in runic writing and the carvings on a mysterious casket. The book is set in the 'so-called' Dark Ages but brings them to life in an enthralling and contemporary way.' (Tony Robinson)

Reseña del editor

Join young investigator and shield maiden Alva as she goes a-viking around the medieval world in search of adventure!
Alva clings to her sleeping wolf as the Viking longship pitches and rolls over the North Sea's crashing waves. Soon she will reveal herself as a secret stowaway, but only when there's no chance of turning back. This is her opportunity to put her shield maiden spirit to the test - exploring strange new lands, solving mysteries, and most importantly finding her father . . .
