Beyond the Dragonhead by Kelly Nichols and Alyn Rockwood | Viking Refugees Book #1 | Book Review | A middle-grade & up Viking adventure tale. Were Vikings the killing marauders they have been portrayed as?
Quinton Peters was the golden boy of the Rosewood low-income housing projects, receiving full scholarship offers to two different Ivy League schools. When he mysteriously goes missing, his little sister, 13-year-old Amari Peters decides to investigate after the authorities give up on him. Then Amari discovers a ticking briefcase in her brother's old closet.
A briefcase meant for her eyes only. There was far more to Quinton; it seems, than she ever knew. He's left her a nomination for a summer tryout at the secretive Bureau of Supernatural Affairs. Amari is certain the answer to finding out what happened to him lies somewhere inside; if only she can get her head around the idea of mermaids, dwarves, yetis, and magicians all being real.
