description: Norse settlers in the New World encounter hostile natives and finally decide to return to their home land. From inside book flap: Snorri was born in North America - more than a thousand years ago. His parents had come there from Greenland with other settlers. Snorri learned to fish, and to hunt. He also asked his parents questions: Where did you come from? Where is Greenland? He wondered what Greenland was like. One day, while Snorri was looking at the sea, strange men came paddling up. They traded with the Norsemen, and everyone was happy. Then something happened to frighten the strangers. They went away, and they came back ready to fight. But Snorri did not mind; because of this, he would have an answer to his questions about Greenland. In this exciting History I CAN READ book, Nathaniel Benchley recreates what it was like to be the youngest settler in a new land. Don Bolognese's exuberant pictures capture the humor and action of the story.
