Get swept away on an adventure and see history coming to life before your eyes with the Children of Snotingas. If you love Children's action and adventure stories for ages seven and up, you'll love C.S. Woolley's thrilling Anglo-Saxon stories.

Life in Anglo-Saxon England is far from fair, but times are changing in Snotingas. As King Penda breaks away from Nordhymbria, six young boys see a chance to change their lives for the better. Wayland, Halsey and Channing are all slaves. Ransom, Seward and Tostig are all from the ceorl class of servants. Each boy dreams of being a warrior and now they finally have a chance.

War with Nordhymbria means that not only can the lives of slaves and servants change, but the lives of the children of kings and thanes. Kipp, Morven and Nyle are all warriors and sons of some of the most powerful families in Nordhymbria, but none of that means anything now that they are prisoners of Snot. However, the three boys have no plans to sit by and wait for the war to end. Instead, they are determined to cause as many problems as they can for their captors, but the sons of Nordhymbria still have to contend with the daughters of Snotingas.

Will the sons of Nordhymbria escape and return to their homes? Will Wayland, Halsey, Channing, Ransom, Seward and Tostig achieve their dreams of becoming warriors?

Step back in time to the age of King Penda, when the kingdom of Mercia was born.
