Book synopsis for The Other Side of Whale Road by K.A. Hayton
HOW DARK WERE THE DARK AGES? JOSS IS ABOUT TO FIND OUT…
‘The Vikings are better armed than we are. They have long, heavy axes that can take a man’s head from his shoulder.
‘I know this because I see it happen.’
When his mum burns down their house on the Whitehorse estate, sixteen-year-old Joss is sent to live in a sleepy Suffolk village.
The place is steeped in history, as Joss learns when a bike accident pitches him back more than 1,000 years to an Anglo-Saxon village. That history also tells him his new friends are in mortal peril from bloodthirsty invaders. Can he warn their ruler, King Edmund, in time?
And will he ever get home?
