Books like Mystery of the Silver Coins by Lois Walfrid Johnson


In this historical adventure, Bree and another young prisoner break free from a Viking vessel and find themselves battling for survival on a rugged Norwegian mountainside. They must confront harsh physical challenges—food, shelter, and danger—while also wrestling with deeper spiritual questions. As they navigate the wilderness, a prideful young Viking named Mikkel leads the search, convinced Bree stole his bag of silver coins. Tension rises as Bree learns to forgive those who have uprooted her life and as Mikkel begins to doubt whether the Christian god of the Irish Christians holds more power than the Viking deities. The story blends youthful courage with a vivid portrayal of the clash between faith traditions in a tense, historical setting.
