Out oars and reef sails with Bree--you'll learn a lot on this Viking ship!

Plot

When Briana O'Toole is captured by a young Viking chieftain, she has to reevaluate her faith and learn to trust God during circumstances she'd never dreamed of.

Morality

There's no blurring of ethical lines here. The "enemy" are either sinful, confused, or ignorant of God's truth.

Spiritual Content

Spiritual principles are very much in evidence. Bree's parents are excellent role models, and the choices Bree has to make are based on Scriptural ideals of right and wrong.

Violence

There is some violence when the Irish captives are taken, but it's not graphic.

Drug and Alcohol Content

None.

Sexual Content

None.

Crude or Profane Language or Content

None.

Conclusion

I would feel cheated if I was a preteen and never got a chance to read this book. It and its sequels are adventurous and compelling--and rich in spiritual truth.

Fun Score:	4.5
