'Magical History Tour #8: Vikings' by Fabrice Erre with illustrations by Sylvain Savoia is a graphic novel for young readers telling the history of the Vikings.
Annie and Nico like to learn and this time around it's the seafaring, land conquering Vikings. The text separates out fact from fiction and shows that most European descendants have some Viking ancestry.
This is good for middle school readers and is informative and has great art.

This story is a graphic novel about the vikings. The book covers mapping, culture, history, mythology, society, and more. At the end of the story there are biographies about a few leaders, information about ships and technology and a timeline. This is the perfect fiction meets non-fiction text for students learning about history and geography from the viking time period.
The funny and inviting pictures and graphic novel text layout makes this book very accessible and appealing. As a grade 3 teacher, I could see this being used in my classroom by students who are interested in vikings and norse mythology. I could also see my colleagues in middle school using this text to support English language learners or students with learning disabilities. Graphic novels are loved by so many students of all ages and I think that this would be a perfect opportunity for a teacher to bring in a text that is accessible to many students without being labeled as "kiddish". I would recommend this book to teachers of students in Gr 2-8 and for families of children interested in the vikings.
Thank you Netgalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read and review this book! I look forward to checking out the other books in this series too!
