Odd has had some terrible luck, but it's about to change when he rescues a bear who is more than he seems to be in this brilliantly inventive short novel inspired by traditional Norse mythology from a Newbery-winning New York Times best-selling author and an acclaimed artist. AnnotationBestselling author Neil Gaiman's middle grade novel steeped in Norse mythology follows a smart and resourceful boy named Odd on the wild journey he takes with a bear, an eagle, and a fox. After losing his father and hurting his leg, Odd finds life in the seemingly endless winter very challenging. But when he befriends three animals in the forest and goes on a quest to remove the Frost Giants from power in the city of Asgard, life starts to get very interesting. With illustrations. In this inventive, short, yet perfectly formed novel inspired by traditional Norse mythology, Neil Gaiman takes readers on a wild and magical trip to the land of giants and gods and back. In a village in ancient Norway lives a boy named Odd, and he's had some very bad luck: His father perished in a Viking expedition; a tree fell on and shattered his leg; the endless freezing winter is making villagers dangerously grumpy. Out in the forest Odd encounters a bear, a fox, and an eagle--three creatures with a strange story to tell. Now Odd is forced on a stranger journey than he had imagined--a journey to save Asgard, city of the gods, from the Frost Giants who have invaded it. It's going to take a very special kind of twelve-year-old boy to outwit the Frost Giants, restore peace to the city of gods, and end the long winter. Someone cheerful and infuriating and clever . . . Someone just like Odd .
