Leif Frond and Quickfingers

Description

A wandering pedlar turns up in Leif's village, much to the delight of the Vikings of Frondfell. Only Leif suspects there's something not quite right about the small, wrinkly old man. As belongings start to go missing in the village and the pedlar is suddenly nowhere to be found, Leif's suspicions are confirmed. Can Leif track down the disappearing pedlar, survive insane flying inventions, and prove himself to be a hero once and for all?

Joan Lennon lives in the Kingdom of Fife, on the River Tay. The Kingdom is said to be shaped like a dog's head. If this is so, her flat is somewhere on the tip of the ear, which explains a lot. She has a husband, four tall sons and one short cat, and plans to go on writing forever.

Great fun, these are easy reads which will appeal to boys and girls. -- Sarah Brew * www.parentsintouch.co.uk * These short books are a lot of fun. The combination of adventure and word-play will entertain older readers as well as the youngest. And with so many promising characters bumping into each other at every turn, a series must surely be in the offing? Let's hope so. -- Ann Turnbull * awfullybigreviews.blogspot.co.uk *
