      From the author of the bestselling No Matter What comes an epic tale of bravery and Viking adventure. Wilma belongs to a family of fearsome Viking warriors. She has BIG plans. She wants to sail the seven seas, slay the Monster of the Deep . . . and still be home in time to read a bedtime saga. Her older brothers all laugh. 'You're just a GIRL,' they say. 'Real adventures are for boys.' But when Wilma's baby brother Harald escapes to sea on a Viking longboat, it's up to her to rescue him - and prove that adventures are for EVERYONE! Heart-warming, inspiring and wonderfully feminist, Wilma's story shows that strength and courage belong to ALL of us. 'The literary equivalent of a big hug' - The Times on NO MATTER WHAT 'An instant childhood classic' - Independent on Sunday on NO MATTER WHAT 'Simply delightful, utterly heart-warming and brimful of hope' - Library Mice on DRAGON LOVES PENGUIN
