The Sea of Trolls by Nancy Farmer


Book Recommended by Carl B.

Grayson Branch

In The Sea of Trolls, Nancy Farmer creates a thrilling adventure story with twists of Norse and Celtic mythology. The reader is thrown into the book beginning with a boy named Jack and his sister Lucy who both are kidnapped by berserkers. When the berserkers reach their homeland, Jack sings to Queen Frith, who is half troll. In doing so, the evil Queen loses her hair and threatens to kill Lucy unless Jack can restore her beauty. Jack then goes on a quest to search for the cure. What can be learned from the book is how even the unlikeliest of people can be friends. This book was a wonderful story that keeps the reader spellbound to the very end. The Sea of Trolls by Nancy Farmer is no doubt one of the best teen books ever written.
