"I read this one in the third or fourth grade. Possibly I read it twice- I don't remember a lot of the details aside from Eric getting kicked out of Europe and going to Iceland. And then Bjorn and Leif finding North America. This book made me a thorn in my teachers sides as they tried to tell classes that Columbus discovered America. Great if you like books with a nautical theme."
