1. Out of my Viking mind

2. Combined Summary
Eric the red is very hostile like every normal Viking and
doesn’t hesitate to pull out his sword. He was smart to name
Greenland, Greenland: a very desolate and cold land, the
exact opposite of what the country really is. Eric the Red, also
called many more names, was born in Norway but their
family moved to Iceland. Eric the Red killed two men in
Iceland and was soon banished from Iceland for three years.
Melody Brooks is a physically but not mentally challenged
child in need of something that will help her speak and
express her smartness. Soon she does find a miraculous
machine that helps her speak and people finally know how
smart she is. She is soon entered into a quiz team and
succeeds on the first round.

5. Melody and the Viking
I was being rolled into the wiz kid show when she saw Lief Ericson .The Viking was
rallying the other team like a football coach. The host said “Let’s get started.!”The
lights went around like blue butterflies dancing in a meadow. The first question lit
up on the board. Sweat rolled down my back. This was a math question, and I was
in trouble. All of a sudden, there was a banging on the door. Suddenly there were
giant bumblebees in my stomach. Out busted Eric the red, red hair flying
everywhere. He flew like a blue jay to where she was standing, or more likely
sitting, and he said in his proud Viking voice:
“This is the girl of the century! She is outstanding as all of you can tell.” “She has
crossed many stormy seas herself, and yet, ye people judge her like a criminal in
court.” Now I would like Claire and Molly to walk up here.”
Claire’s face turned bright red.
“Now mate, who put salt in ye so-called Kool-Aid?!?” “This girl, Melody is a queen.
Soon after that the Vikings walked up to Claire and molly and squeezed them like
giant tubes of toothpaste.
