Time Travel Twins: The Viking Attack cover

Twins Scarlett and Thomas embark on a thrilling adventure in Time Travel Twins: The Viking Attack, exploring Viking and Saxon cultures through time travel.

In Time Travel Twins: The Viking Attack, readers are taken on an adventurous journey through history alongside twins Scarlett and Thomas. Tasked with a school project on the Vikings and Anglo-Saxons, the siblings find themselves in a bit of a bind when inspiration runs low. Fortunately, their Grandad has a time machine that opens the door to a thrilling escapade. Thomas is transported to a Viking longship, where he quickly becomes immersed in the life of a Viking warrior, learning about their culture and preparing for battle. The excitement of the era is palpable as he dons armor and hears ancient tales.

Meanwhile, Scarlett's journey lands her in an unexpected predicament—she finds herself in a Saxon village, quite literally in a pile of pig manure. However, her luck begins to turn when she meets a young Alfred the Great, who becomes her ally in navigating the challenges of Saxon life. As the twins explore their respective historical settings, they must also confront the looming threat of Viking invaders, leading to a gripping climax that tests their courage and resourcefulness.

Time Travel Twins: The Viking Attack is not only a tale of adventure and friendship but also an engaging way to learn about significant historical events. The narrative weaves together humor, excitement, and educational elements, making it a captivating read for young audiences eager to learn about history through a fun and imaginative lens.
