A review by thuglibrarian
When We Were Vikings by Andrew David MacDonald

What do I say about 21 year old Zelda (who is on the fetal alcohol spectrum), who dreams of becoming a Viking hero? That she has a heart bigger than those give her credit for? That she loves learning new words thru Word-of-The-Day? That she attends a program for special needs adult at the community center? Do I tell you, that she is on a quest to be legendary? No, I will tell you that Zelda is there for her brother Gert as he tries to find his way in the so called normal world. I will tell you that Zelda is a legend. For readers who loved The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time.
