Review
a great achievement...written with great confidence, with a fine sense of time and place. I felt I was there, and was excited to be there. I think teenagers, boys and girls, will find it a thrilling read. (Carnegie Medal-winning Berlie Doherty )
Of Warrior Girl: This is brilliantly evocative, with a detailed reconstruction of the lifting of the siege of Orleans. Dramatic and dazzling at times. (Children's Bookseller )
the healing revelation with which this novel ends is so unexpected and utterly right that it made me gulp. Chandler has found the perfect way to tell us how tolerant faith, religious or secular, can in any age restore and empower what self-interest and cruel intolerance take away. (Kevin Crossley-Holland in the Guardian )
A terrific tale set in medieval France . . . You'll be left breathless with pure excitement. (Mizz magazine, five-star review )
solidly rooted in the world of late Medieval France . . . the life of the countryside, court and battlefield is vividly evoked in spare, yet sensuous language. Highly recommended (Books for Keeps, four-star review )
This book is amazing! . . . This book captures you and takes you on a heartbreaking journey . . . I loved this book and found it really hard to put down. If, like me, you enjoy historical books, then I recommend it. (Ruth, teenage reviewer in Teen Titles )

Thrilling adventure,
By Polly-by-Gaslight (Derbyshire, England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Viking Girl (Paperback)
Beren, daughter of defeated Viking leader, Thorkil, seeks refuge across the sea,in Saxon England. She's now leader of the tribe and faces capture or death, to find safe harbour for her people. The past haunts her though, in the form of her father's spirit-animal, a fox. What is it trying to tell her? How did her father really die?This is a terrific page-turning slice of historical adventure, with another of Pauline Chandler's strong heroines. If you love Vikings and warrior girls, you'll love this!
