Official synopsis Publisher
From the author of the bestselling No Matter What comes an epic tale of bravery and Viking adventure.
Wilma belongs to a family of fearsome Viking warriors. She has BIG plans. She wants to sail the seven seas, slay the Monster of the Deep . . . and still be home in time to read a bedtime saga.
Her older brothers all laugh. ‘You’re just a GIRL,’ they say. ‘Real adventures are for boys.’ But when Wilma’s baby brother Harald escapes to sea on a Viking longboat, it’s up to her to rescue him – and prove that adventures are for EVERYONE!
Heart-warming, inspiring and wonderfully feminist, Wilma’s story shows that strength and courage belong to ALL of us.
