The Viking Quest series, which begins with Raiders from the Sea, has to be one of my all time favorite series. It is set in the late 900s. Bree and Devin, sister and brother, are kidnapped during a Viking raid. Mikkel is the leader of the Viking group. You learn through the books that Mikkel feels he has something to prove to his father, a powerful Viking leader. Bree likes adventure, and because Mikkel keeps her with him most of the time, she gets in on many adventures...some more pleasant than others.
I have recommended it to many people, and even purchased a few sets for friends. So far they've all loved it. Several parents have said they enjoyed reading it as a family read-aloud. It not only captivates young audiences, but adults as well.
