Arrowhead
(12 reviews with an average rating of 4 out of 5)
Publisher: Scholastic
A young Viking warrior's body has lain undisturbed beneath Isdal glacier for centuries, his hand grasping a golden arrowhead incised with runes. When Skuli and Jack disturb the corpse, Jack experiences an immediate connection through time with the young Viking - and feels the power emanating from the arrowhead.
A story of violence, raiding and treachery between brothers unfolds as an ancient curse is released. As the night gets wilder and the town's inhabitants behaviour becomes increasingly strange, Jack and Skuli realise they alone can lay old ghosts to rest, and lift the curse by performing a Viking ship burial.
With its complex, well-defined characters and vivid setting, Arrowhead's narrative also shares much of the same dark driving power that drives Viking mythology, in this thrilling time-slip novel.

I disagree with Daniel I think the book is very good and it has a lot of very good action scenes and I really like the writing style.

This book is very confusing and it doesn't make sense. The writing style is confusing and there is not really a story line.

Arrow head was one of my favourite book so far over taking storm breaker. My favourite part is when they find Tor. But you know how jack is feeling because of the words in that chapter. But I found the bit creepy when Tor was in Jacks room and they describe his scorch marks on his hand due to the arrow head. I would recommend this book because it really hooks you in to the story

this was a very exiting book but was slow to start when it got to about three quarters of the way through at the part when he is at the museum I just couldn't put it down the factor that his mother is mentally ill due to grief and that he is dealing with it to really adds another factor of suspense.

did you know that Vikings had golden arrowheads?. If you like action, adventure and Percy Jackson books you would like arrowhead. this book is by Ruth Eastham. There are two characters called Skuli and jack. I hope you like this book.

Personally i find this book very interesting but it does get a little bit confusing because there are so many things that are going on at one time its very hard to keep track of .Furthermore it makes you think that its a diary and then it says something like the main character just discovered something but overall its a very good and interesting book

Daniel is wrong about the opinion of this book. The reasons that all my fellow reviewers have said are a big smack very good pleasure. I agree with temstar and all the others that have said positive things people have said
