Description
Set in the Viking world of long boats, looting and grand adventure, The Goose Pimple Bay Sagas relate the hilarious tales of a ruling family with a difference. Book one introduces the two sons of Chief Thunderstruck and Ma Moosejaw, Spike Carbuncle and Whiff Eric. Ma Moosejaw wants to leave Goose Pimple Bay with her husband and travel north to see a white bear. But both sons are useless. Who will look after things when they are gone? There's only one thing for it: the sons must each find a bride. Whoever returns with the best one will rule Goose Pimple Bay. The other will be banished to the forest for ever...
A four book mini-series. Collectable and enables good shelf presence. Integrated b&w illustrations throughout support the text and add humour. Ideal springboard for learning more about the Viking world. Equal boy / girl appeal. Karen Wallace is very much a high-profile author following the success of Raspberries on the Yangtze, shortlisted for the Guardian children's fiction prize and The Unrivalled Spangles, shortlisted for a Book Trust award.
