Listen. This book is kind of hard to describe. It takes place in a small town called Norse Ridge, Minnesota, which is a lot like any other small town in the Midwest, except it has more subterranean caves and people named Olaf. (Also, they eat hotdish, not casserole.)

The main character is a kid named Danny Hall, who goes on a hunt with his friends to find their missing history teacher and maybe a little ancient Viking treasure, too.

Oh, and I'm the narrator, and I'll do my best to keep quiet and just tell the story.

But you should know that this book ALSO includes an evil descendent of a Spanish conquistador and his school principal sidekick who may or may not be up to no good. Also, it has cave pigs, seasick Frenchmen, a sentient rock, a mythological blue moose, and a super epic car chase. It's a lot to describe in only a few paragraphsβ€”enough to make you go berserk (see what I did there?).

Uff-da! Just open up the book and read it already!

About the Author

Well then, this is the part about M.A. Larson. He doesn't much like talking about himself, but he'll give her a shot here anyway. He was born on the banks of the mighty Zumbro River in Rochester, Minnesota, then bounced around a bit from Miami to New York and finally ended up in Los Angeles. He lives in a canyon with his wife and three daughters, who are all just lovely as peaches on a tree in July. He's been writing for television for several years now, shows like My Little Pony and Gravity Falls and Invincible Fight Girl. That's a pretty good show there, have you seen it? Anyhow, Berserkers is his fourth book. He really hopes everyone enjoys it and that this bio wasn't too self-indulgent. Oh, and he loves lefse and hates lutefisk. And Skol, Vikings! malarson.com
