This summer I read the book, The Sea of Trolls by Nancy Farmer. This book is set in a saxon village in A.D. 793. The main character is Jack, an 11 year old boy, who lives in the village with his sister, Lucy, and thier mom and dad. The story begins when the villages bard, magician, chooses Jack to be his apprentice. Jack learns how to use magic and use the "life force". Then a group of berserkers, or northmen, attack thier village and kidnap Jack and Lucy. The leader of the group of northmen is Olaf One-Brow, Olaf takes jack as his slave and Lucy becomes a slave to Thorgil, the sheild maiden. Thorgil is an 11 year old girl who fights with the northmen. Jack and Lucy are then taken to the land of the northmen. Jack is taken to meet King Ivar and the half-troll queen Frith. While Jack is there he accidental puts a spell on the queen and then jack is forced to go on a quest to Jotenheim, wheir the trols live, to find mimir's well to undo the spell. Jack then goes on a quest to Jotenheim and faces dragons and gaint spiders. I really liked this book, because of the real cool storyline and the authors style of writing. this was a very good book, I recomend it. Reply: Sound like a very good book. I like fantasies too. The spells sound interesting. Also, what you mention of the storyline sounds quite thrilling. The quest part of the book also sounds quite captivating. -Daniel Schur
