The Life Chest: Vikings - The Life Chest Adventures, #3

"Before going forward, all doorways should be looked to; for it is difficult to know where foes may sit within a dwelling." - a Viking sayingIn the 1920s, Swedish border patrol skiers saw a pattern of mysterious black dots as they gazed from their vantage point on a windy ridge into a desolate, snow-filled valley. Were the dots a mirage, a visual trick of the glaring white landscape? Or were they the rooftops of ancient Viking lodges, peeking up through an age-old avalanche of snow? The answer was unknown, buried in the bleakness of the inaccessible valley.
Josh and Bernie, the main characters in The Life Chest Adventures, encounter this mystery when they travel to Norway with their families. What begins as a pleasant vacation turns into a thrilling and dangerous trek into the valley. Murder and betrayal accompany them, and the cousins must confront their own demons as well as a gang of treasure-hunting thugs when they discover Viking life chests overflowing with riches.
The "nine noble virtues" of Viking lore dovetail with the life chest lessons that Bernie and Josh strive to live by, making this story a unique addition to the series.
