Times review of THE SEA OF TROLLS by Nancy Farmer
Reviewing The Sea of Trolls by Nancy Farmer, Amanda Craig cites it as the best children's novel of the year...
The life of the Norse sea-farers is so detailed that any child who reads this will pick up far more about Viking customs, beliefs and language than a hundred school text-books. It's strange that out of the four best new novels for children to be published this year, three should be about this period and people, but I have no hesitation in recommending Sea of Trolls as the best children's novel of the year.
