About this listen

Alfie and Kat’s school trip takes an unexpected turn when they’re whisked back to a Viking village in this exciting time-slip adventure from bestselling author Karen McCombie.

Things take a weird turn for Alfie and Kat when they get separated from the rest of their group on a school trip to the Viking Museum. The models around them start to come to life, and at first Kat is sure they’re being pranked for a TV game show.

She urges Alfie to play along, and they take part in Viking village life – cooking, weaving and even digging a toilet pit. But will they ever be able to find their way back home?

Particularly suitable for readers aged 7+ with a reading age of 7.

Critic Reviews

"Aberdonian author McCombie's dyslexia-friendly, time slip adventure — aimed at those with a reading age of seven and upwards — is a triumph." — The Courier

"Perfect as a class read to accompany a topic on the Vikings, this is a great adventure that is filled with historical details that is not just a really fun story but one that makes learning about this time period effortless and enjoyable as we travel back in time with its two protagonists." — Mrs Sydney's Famous World's Smallest Library, blog
