Clement: The Green Ship

(Clement, Book 2)

By Craig R. Hipkins

 

Normandy. The year 1161. King Henry ll sends the 14-year-old Clement, Count of la Haye on a secret mission. The young count and his friends travel in the wake of the mysterious mariner known as Sir Humphrey Rochford. Their destination? The legendary land of Vinland, known only from the Norse sagas. The journey is full of adventure and intrigue. Clement battles with a tyrannical Irish king and then finds his vessel attacked by a massive monster from the deep. The Green Ship sails to the sparse and barren land of Greenland where more trouble awaits.

 

 

 A young nobleman is about to embark on an adventure of a lifetime, the only question is, will he survive the journey?

I enjoyed this novel from beginning to end. It is packed full of memorable characters, brave acts of heroism and vile antagonists. There is also a gentle romance that I was not expecting.

Clement is only fourteen but he has a sharp intellect and is incredibly knowledgable, outsmarting many an older man. But at the heart of it, Clement is still only a teen who wants to hang out with his friends and have a good time. Unfortunately, if he wants to spend time with his friends he is going to have to take them with him!

I thought this novel was amazing. This book should definitely be on your to-read list.
