Rating:  - An Excellent Fantasy Story
I came across this book while searching for stories set in the medieval period and I was unsure if I'd like it or not, since I'm not much of a fantasy book reader. But after reading the entire book through, it's now one of my favorites! Nancy Farmer did an incredible job at keeping this story believable yet filled with adventure. I was so sad to arrive at the last chapter that I held off reading it for days!
I would strongly recommend this book to those who enjoy books of adventure and trial, even if fantasy isn't your favorite subject to read!

"The Sea of Trolls", by Nancy Farmer is mainly about a boy named Jack. There is an old man who is a Wizard, who knows magic and he taught Jack this magic to face his fears but his life turns when an evil nightmare makes the wizard angry. Then a band of people called the Northmen capture Jack and his little sister, Lucy, and they take them to Olaf. Olaf also captured the Wizard which he thought was good because now the Wizard could not help Jack and Lucy escape. But then something goes terribly wrong when Jack says a spell to Olaf's queen to reveal her true appearance which was not good because she threatened to kill Lucy until Jack fixes the spell. Jack then has to find a way to undo the spell and undergoes many tragedies along the way, facing dragons, troll-bears, regular terrifying trolls, giant spiders and many other creatures that get in his way of his journey. Jack had only a small amount of time to undo the spell, but would he change it in time or would the queen end up killing Lucy, Jacks little sister instead?
Rating: - The Sea of Trolls
The Sea of Trolls is a very good book and it is one of the better books I have read. The story is very interesting and although for characters like Thorgil it may take a few chapters to like them. It (the story) is all told through the main characters eyes. the main character is an 11 year old boy named Jack. His sister is sort of a brat who gets whatever she wants but at the end she gets better. The bard is quite likable. His personality is somewhat similar to Gandalf the Grey (The Lord of The Rings.) All in all this is a must read book.
Rating: - Jack's amazing adventure
Have you ever been on a wild, life threatening adventure? I know I haven't and I also know that there is not one quite like this one. In The Sea of Trolls by Nancy Farmer, Jack, brother of Lucy, is taken in as The Bard's apprentice in his teachings of magic. Along the way Jack learns many knew spells and all sorts of magic powers, but before he can master these skills him and his 5-year-old sister Lucy get captured by the Northmen. After getting captured Jack and Lucy are later treated as part of this Northmen crew and are forced to go along with their sailings. Along their adventures the crew come across some problems and are forced to make a journey to Mirmirs Well in Jotunhiem, there they will across many strange creatures such as a toll-boar and a dragon. This adventure story is one of two in its series and is recommended to all people looking for an action filled story with a little fantasy along the way. If I should say so myself, this book is a great choice. Jack's adventure is very action filled and interesting, read it to find out how exactly Jack's adventure ends.
