From the publisher

In a rugged northern village, there lived a brave Viking warrior named Gunnar. Deep down, Gunnar had a secret: He felt something was missing from his life.During a voyage to a southern town, Gunnar’s destiny took a turn when he smelled a delicious aroma coming from an empty cabin. Inside, he discovered a wonderful treat that completely overwhelmed him: Pizza! When he returned home, Gunnar tried to recreate the recipe. His first Viking pizza was born, and it was … a disaster.He tried again and again until he perfected his recipe. He couldn’t wait to share it with his fellow villagers. As demand for his pizza grew, Gunnar faced a tough decision. Should he continue to swing his sword and seek adventure, or should he pursue his true passion in the kitchen?
