Rune Warriors, by James Jennewein and Tom S. Parker

Rune Warriors is a hilarious action-packed historical and mythological tale embroiled together.  I felt compelled to share excerpts with my husband and whomever else would listen.  This tale, a refreshing break from dragon fantasy epics, offers insight in Nordic life and mythology while drawing the reader into the life of Dane, a young boy struggling to discover his identity.  For middle grade readers and adults with child-like hearts, Rune Warriors is the next adventure waiting to be devoured.
