Torvig's Gift

by Keith Rayner

Torvig is a 12-year-old boy, the son of a Viking farmer in Denmark in the ninth century. Times are hard for the Vikings as the population grows. Food is in short supply, so farmers are looking for more land in order to raise extra crops and animals. This leads Torvig's father and some of his farmer friends to try their luck settling in a new land across the sea. The result leads Torvig to face new challenges, adventures, and dangers. The Vikings are helped, however, because Torvig possesses a unique gift, which helps him and his people; a gift over which he has no control.
