A HIDDEN door, buried deep in the mud, is the only clue that a team of archaeologists has in uncovering the find of a lifetime. Beneath it, surrounded by terror, lies a majestic spear with powers that mere mortals above would never believe possible.

So it fall to Adam Blake and his unusual counterparts to face destiny and go below into a maze of mysterious tunnels and chambers. Only they will be able to halt the evil ghost of Theobald the Viking Lord from igniting the disastrous chain of events that he was denied a thousand years ago. Magnus the Priest was his obstacle then. Will Adam be able to share in a similar victory? And is there another presence from the past that will influence the battle of good versus evil?

REVIEW

by Lauren Fowler, Bishop Perowne C of E College

The spear of Odin is about the Vikings.

A ruler called Theobold dies and his son takes over but he is not the best of rulers and is very horrible. In chapter 2 it goes back to the future and this boy called Adam knows about the Spear of Odin.

Legend says that who ever the spear land on next there will be war. They find a hidden door in the mud.

When Adam gets in it is like a maze, but unluckily for him the ghost of Theobold is in the maze. Then they have a big fight and Adam wins.

I think this book is suitable for ages 12+ because there are a lot of hard words in the book. I enjoyed this book even though I am not into Viking books. I give it 8 out of 10.
