Odd & The Frost Giants

Odd's luck has been bad so far. He lost his father on a Viking expedition; his foot was crushed beneath a tree; and the winter seems to be going on for ever. But when Odd flees to the woods and releases a trapped bear; his luck begins to change. The eagle; bear and fox he encounters reveal they're actually Norse gods; trapped in animal form by the evil frost giants who have conquered Asgard; the city of the gods...Can a twelve-year-old boy reclaim Thor's hammer; outwit the frost giants and release the gods? With Neil Gaiman's wit and style; this story transcends the everyday and becomes a humorous; rich and layered tale of a life lived courageously.
