Runemarks is a story for boys and girls that LOVE mythology and want a good adventure in the process. Maddy is a young girl in a Scandinavian village that, with the help of a mysterious traveler, finds her destiny intertwined in the ancient Norse myths. It is a lengthy book, I understand, but the language is easy to read and to really enjoy. I would advise, however, that you should do a minimal amount of research on the basics of Norse myths before starting-it is a lot easier to understand at the beginning if you have some background on the topic. Nevertheless, I would definitely recommend this book to all of my friends.
Here is the website for the book itself: www.runemarks.co.uk (if for some reason the link doesn't work, copy and paste it as a URL-it should be correct.)
With warmest regards,
