The Imagination Station #1: Voyage with the
Vikings
While visiting Mr. Whittaker at Whit's Soda Shoppe, Beth and
Patrick find a mysterious letter in the Imagination Station
requesting a Viking sunstone. The letter is old and says that
someone named Albert will be imprisoned if the sunstone isn't found.
Mr. Whittaker sends cousins Patrick and Beth to Greenland circa
1000. On their quest for the sunstone, the cousins meet Vikings Erik
the Red and Leif Eriksson--and find the sunstone as they join Leif
on his first voyage to North America. But the adventure is just
beginning, for when they return to Mr. Whittaker's workshop with the
sunstone, there is another note waiting for them, requesting a
silver goblet.
Join Patrick and Beth as they continue their travel to various lands
and time in the Imagination Station book series.
