Join young investigator and shield maiden Alva as she goes a-viking around the medieval world in search of adventure!

Review
Praise for Riddle of the Runes:
"A book that every aspiring shield maiden should keep close to her heart if she wants her buckles to truly swash. A tale with a big, warm, wild heart."
--Frank Cottrell Boyce
"My daughter would not let me put this down. We finished it in one sitting!"
--Dan Snow
"A ferocious heroine as strong as steel-and a mystery worthy of her skills. You'll love it."
--Lucy Worsley
"This is captivating story brimming with authentic details, and written with sparking prose. It made me wish I were a Viking."
--Greg Jenner
"Vikings, Christians, dramatic landscapes and wolves. This is the perfect adventure and the best new literary heroine I wish I'd met as a child. Bring on the next Alva adventure. She's awoken my shield maiden!"
--Anita Rani
"I enjoyed the book very much. The characters were engaging and the story full of life and movement."
--Philip Pullman
"Vikings! Sassy girl heroes! Runes and wolves! What's not to like?"
--David Aaronovitch
"The historical novel arrives for a new generation - Alva is a riddle-solving, crime-busting hero from the Viking Age - my 21st century kids were entranced."
--Alice Roberts
"A gripping mystery that brings the Viking world to vivid life, with a brave and original heroine who'll inspire young readers (and old!) with a passion for historical adventure."
--S.J.Parris
"Janina Ramirez has the mind of a history lover, and the heart of a fun-loving adventurer. She has written a classic detective story in which the clues are buried in runic writing and the carvings on a mysterious casket. The book is set in the 'so-called' Dark Ages but brings them to life in
an enthralling and contemporary way."
--Tony Robinson
