Leif, a Viking who cherishes solitude and nature, faces a challenge when his clan demands participation in the boisterous Viking Games. As his peers revel in competition, Leif must find a way to contribute. Will he disappoint his clan, or does he hold a secret treasure that could change everything? Discover how Leif's unique perspective might just turn the tide in this tale of staying true to oneself and valuing the wonders of the world.

From the publisher

While the other Vikings love to holler and howl and battle and brawl, Leif prefers spending time by himself atop the beautiful fjord. But when it’s time for the Viking Games, everyone must participate. Will Leif let down his clan . . . or surprise them? Highlighting the value of nature and earthly wonders, best-selling author Laura Gehl teams up with illustrator Timothy Banks to remind readers to stay true to themselves and to look at things from a new perspective.
