A grand read! Three time Newberry Honor winner Nancy Farmer has continued her medieval saga of Jack and his family as he deals with Norse and Celtic gods, hobgoblins and elves. Jack began his adventures in the Sea of Trolls, in which he and his sister were stolen away from their small English village by Vikings and ended up in the Norseland of myth. In The Land of Silver Apples, Jack must pursue his quest into the underground and evade the hobgoblins and elves to find his sister.
Farmer weaves the threads of Norse and Celtic mythology into a coming-of-age tale that followers of Tolkien and J.K. Rowling will enjoy. If you enjoyed Avi's Newberry award winner "Crispin", be sure to give this a try. No quester who enters these pages with Jack will go away unsatisfied!
