Odd and 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.

Neil Gaiman is a hugely bestselling author with an avid fanbase that has recently grown even bigger in the light of his film success (Stardust, Beowulf and the Coraline animation)

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 forever.

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.

Odd and the Frost Giants is a captivating read that combines mythology with a coming-of-age adventure, inviting readers into a world where bravery and cleverness are the ultimate tools for overcoming adversity.
