An hilarious new illustrated chapter book series featuring the hapless adventures of Leif the Unlucky Viking wolf pup, from the creator of the hugely popular Julius Zebra books!
Leif is not unlucky. Yes, he does split his trousers at least once a week. And yes, he's always tripping up and falling down a hole. But he’s determined to become a true Viking hero, just like his dad. Can he unravel the riddles of a witch to find a magical shard of rock that has fallen from a shooting star and wield its mystical powers? He will have to journey deep into the heart of polar bear country, outwitting all kinds of mythological creatures along the way. Thankfully, he has Olaf, the annoying duck, Toki, the nincompoop Puffin, and Flora, the incredibly smelly Muskox, for company. He's going to need all the luck he can get!

Reviews for Leif the Unlucky Viking: Saga of the Shooting Star

A laugh-out-loud epic adventure. Bonkers and brilliant! -- Laura Ellen Anderson A visually joyous, effortlessly hilarious epic of dogs, ducks, Vikings and magic! -- Louie Stowell Always down but never out, Leif is another amazing creation from Northfield’s neverending bag of tricks. Complete with a hilarious bunch of friends, Leif the Unlucky Viking should come with a snigger warning - your sides will hurt from laughter. I’ve no idea how Northfield’s mind works; long may it continue!! * Courttia Newland * Northfield presents Leif’s adventures in a combination of text and cartoons, with dialogue literally put in characters mouths, making for an exciting read that reluctant readers ready to move on from fully illustrated graphic novels, such as Dogman, will find engaging. * Irish Times * A hilarious book with a lot of equally hilarious illustrations. * NetGalley Reviewer *
