To kick start Book Week Scotland we were joined Friday morning by author David McPhail who has recently released his new book ‘Velda the Awesomest Viking and the Ginormous Frost Giants’. 📚
I think it’s safe to say everyone (me included) loved his visit judging by the laughs and giggles in the room.David, a true Viking expert spent some time explaining a bit of background information on Vikings, including the boys’ and girls’ Viking names, including:
Cameron aka ‘Nur the bottom slayer’Jack aka ‘Jaree the shield basher’Olivia aka ‘Olitilda the big toe squisher’Â James aka ‘Jaree wolf wrestler’Â
Before reading the first chapter of his book which managed to stun the audience to silence 😄.
While the boys and girls came armed with questions, David himself came armed with plenty of ‘merch’ which was well enjoyed by everyone!Â
