INTERMEDIATE FICTION
Sutcliff, Rosemary

Sword Song

(2) 4-6 Sutcliff's admirers will rejoice at the posthumous publication of a novel about a young Viking warrior. Bjarni Sigurdson is barely sixteen when he is banished from his settlement on the west coast of Scotland for accidentally killing a man. Sutcliff's careful handling of how a young man deals with the difficult choices that lead to maturity is nothing short of masterly. An unexpected and most welcome gift.
