My Review

I enjoyed this time travel adventure with the timekeepers, a new-to-me series that I discovered on NetGalley as a ‘Read Now’.

This is book 7 which can be read as a standalone, but I think it would be better to start at the beginning, as I definitely felt like I missed out on who the children were and where they lived and how they came to be involved with the Timekeepers.

It’s a good adventure story though, with a quiz and a glossary of Viking words at the end.

I think this would be a great book for kids to read and discover about the Vikings and a really good resource for schools and libraries.

Thanks so much to NetGalley and DK Children for my digital copy via the NetGalley app.
