Bree, Devin, and Mikkel all proved to be courageous in many different ways. Tell me your favorite example of "courage to win" in this series.
Julia (12): "I like when Bree runs away from the viking ship with Lil."
Gabe (10): "Mikkel went back to Ireland. If the people found out he was there, then they would want to kill him. But he went there anyway, to return Bree and Devin.
Evy (7): "Bree gave up her chance to come home. So Lil could go home."
Daniel (5): Bree was the bravest because she went on the boat."
Michael (5): "Mikkel was brave when Bree fell in the water."

Mom's Notes: We couldn't stay away from Bree, Devin, and Mikkel for long! We were all excited to pick right back up where we left off. It truly feels like we've been along on the whole adventure with them. Mikkel's change of heart is beautiful and realistic, given the passage of time and events. We truly could not put the book down as we neared the end of the series, so we snuggled in and read for nearly two hours one Monday morning. (Hooray for a flexible homeschool schedule!) My hoarse voice actually made it to the very, very end, then suddenly gave out! It was kind of crazy. Anyway, I'm so glad these books are on our shelves so we can revisit and learn from and with these characters again. We want a movie!
