An Awsome Book- The Sea of Trolls
This book was an exiting and adventurous tale of how a Young Saxon farmer boy became the hero of the day. The book incorporates mythology with history, and a ton of imagination. The Sea of Trolls is packed with important lessons and a basic view of older cultures. This is a must read for both teenagers and young adults.

An amazing novel
The Sea of Trolls is a truly incredible book about friendship, loss, magic, and adventure. Within these pages, you enter a world of everything young adults would like to find in a novel. I truly enjoyed reading Sea of Trolls, and I hope that others do too.

Anothe Hit After House of the Scorpion
How else can I say that everything Nancy Farmer does is great, than to say she is one of the best authors of all time? I can't find the words. This book is one of the best books I have read recently. 5/5, 10/10, 5 stars etc.

Amazing
I just finished and the whole time I was reading it I could picture it as one of the best movies that could be made. If it was a movie it would be a major hit like Lord of the Rings or Harry potter.

Truely inspired
I read this book with my 5th grade son and was astounded at the way the story pulled us in and kept us wanting to read. The characters are inspired and the story is captivating. It is my hope that a sequel will follow as this book was written with the same level of story telling mastery as Lord of the Rings and with imagination and simplicity of reading as is seen in Harry Potter. Give us more Jack and Jill stories. Well done Nany Farmer.

Make a movie!
The book was completely awesome... I loved the characters and the diversity of personalities. Spiders, Dragons, Trolls, Magic, Berserkers what else do you need? Humor, tragedy and the whole gamete of other emotions. There needs to be a sequel. The Sea of Trolls simply rocks. Write on Nancy Farmer.

The Sea of Trolls
This book is awesome one of my all time favourites. The storyline is good and easy to follow and the characters are humorous and have strong personalities.

The characters and places are described so vividly that you think that you are really there. Also I like the way she has used actual facts from that era to write the book.

This is a really good book and I would advise people to read it.

The Sea of Trolls
This book is an amazing story that keeps you wondering what will happen next. It's very fast paced and you find a character you love right away. It's an excellent read and deserves to be made into a movie asap.
