Viking Ships at Sunrise by Mary Pope Osborne

Jack and Annie travel to the time of the Vikings and land in a monastery threatened by raiders. As they try to find a hidden manuscript, they befriend monks and face an attack by Viking warriors. With quick thinking and a little help from magic, they escape by boat and protect the ancient book. The story captures the tension between learning and violence during the Dark Ages. It’s an action-packed tale with historical insight and quiet bravery.
