What can you do when your closest friend lives hundreds of years away? Joe Hopkins is staying in York for October half-term. He hasn't seen Lucy since the beginning of September and he's really missing her. But when at last he slips through time again, he's alarmed to find himself in a different world altogether. This isn't Roman Britain. It's Jorvik, in the age of the Vikings. "Saving the Unicorn's Horn" is the second book in the Scar Gatherer Series, seven time-travel adventures for 8 to 12 year olds. The first book is "The Leopard in the Golden Cage."
