Book Reviews of The Sea of Trolls
Book Review: the best children's novel of 2004
Summary: 5 Stars
Alongside Michelle Paver's Wolf Brother, this gets my vote. It draws on the same sources as Tolkien, so readers shouldn't complain that bits of it are close to the Hobbit. Yes, it's a quest, and yes there's a wizard (or bard) and even a dragon and some spiders, but it's configured differently, by someone who has her own distinctive voice. (Incidentally, if you're 12+, check out House of the Scorpion, which is the best clone novel ever.) Jack and his irritating little sister Lucy are kidnapped by Vikings, just as Jack has begun to discover his powers as a Bard. His teacher, rendered witless by a Nightmare sent by evil Queen Frith, can't help him avoid being sold off as a thrall or slave by the ferocious Olaf One-Brow or sulky shieldmaiden Thorgill. Only Jack can - if he can pull the magic out of himself.
