HEROES OF THE VALLEY
Not everyone is destined to be a hero
Long ago the valley was a wild place, defended by the twelve legendary heroes. Now it is at peace and the time for daring exploits has passed much to the annoyance of Halli Sveinsson. A short, squat stump of a boy, Halli craves excitement, setting sail across the uncharted waters of the goose-pond, or scaling the heights of neighbouring rooftops. But his dreams of real adventure seem doomed until a practical joke rekindles an old blood feud and his life is turned upside-down.
Setting out on a daring quest, he is joined by Aud a girl every bit as reckless and headstrong as him. Together they will challenge the legends, and themselves, and discover that there is more than one way to be a hero
Blood feuds, epic battles and an unforgettable anti-hero come together in this brilliant new fantasy adventure by Jonathan Stroud.
