“ONWARD AND AWKWARD!”
If you hear those words, you know that Clonk the Clonkerer and his Bug Barian friends are on the loose. This means only one thing. You’re about to be conquered in the best possible way – with Viking fun. Better yet, it’s Bug Barian fun.

And just who are these Bug Barians? Meet Clonk the Clonkerer, the Mighty Huntoon, Eddik the Dread, Monte, Flo, Valleri and her pet aphid, Thor. They’re the nuttiest and tiniest troop of Viking Bugs you’ll ever meet. They have an eye for adventure and a taste for fun. They also have an awful sense of direction…and that’s when the adventures really start.

Grab a helmet and sail away aboard “The Leaf Erikson” leaf boat with this crazy crew of diminutive heroes. But be prepared for anything. Today’s destination?
Anywhere the wind takes them. It’s not far away but getting there won’t be easy. They never know who they’ll meet along the way.
Their world is a pond that’s as big as the eye can see. It’s filled with all sorts of things: grumpy squirrels, mean ducks, a crafty yellow kite, unpredictable weather, and of course, Clonk the Clonkerer. Everything is guaranteed to go haywire when Clonk is on board. And it does. He’s proof that big troubles come in tiny Viking packages.

Written for children and Vikings ages 4 and up, “The Bug Barians®” is a charming and fully illustrated story filled with memorable characters and hilarious situations that kids will love and parents will be comfortable with.

All it takes is a little luck, a good gust of wind and you. WHOOSH! Now everyone’s a Bug Barian. Come along as they float, fly and fumble their way into trouble and into your hearts.

ALL FOR BUGS AND BUGS FOR ALL!
