From School Library Journal
Gr 3-5-In previous titles, the Binkerton children landed in ancient Egypt and the Middle Ages, thanks to the Good Times Travel Agency. Now, as they are hurrying home from school, they are reluctantly driven into the agency during a hailstorm. The twins, Emma and Josh, want to leave in a hurry, but little Libby grabs hold of a book on the Vikings and opens it. In a flash, the siblings are transported back into the time of the Norsemen. The narrative is presented in comic-book format, with rectangular text boxes to set the scene and dialogue balloons. Once the adventure begins, the worn-looking pages of the "guidebook" appear at the bottom of the spread, with the text the kids have to read to complete their journey. Bailey's humorous presentation of both the Binkertons' adventures and the Viking information is sure to hold young readers' attention and will appeal to reluctant readers. Give the book to your "Magic Tree House" (Random) or "Time Warp Trio" (Viking) series fans and they're sure to gobble it up.
