Join best-selling children’s author Barbara Henderson for this livestream book launch of her thrilling Viking adventure The Chessmen Thief.
I was the boy with a plan.
Now I am the boy with nothing.
From the moment 12-yearold
Kylan hatches a plan to
escape from his Norse captors,
and return to Scotland to find
his mother, his life becomes a
dangerous game.
The precious Lewis Chessmen
—which he helped carve—hold
the key to his freedom, but he will
need all his courage and wit to
triumph against Sven Asleifsson,
the cruellest Viking in the realm.
One false move could cost him
his life.
Inverness-based Barbara
Henderson is the author of
historical novels Fir for Luck,
Punch, Black Water, The Siege of
Caerlaverock and The Chessmen
Thief as well as the eco-thriller
Wilderness Wars.
Her energetic school visits have
taken her across the length
and breadth of Scotland, and
sometimes beyond. Barbara
shares her home with one
teenage son, one long-suffering
husband and a scruffy Schnauzer
called Merry.
