I have several copies of this book as my order of a shrink-wrapped pack that arrived contained 25 brand new copies! Perfect for Bookcrossing! :)

Synopsis:
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?

7 out of 10

This is a rather slim book about a young boy named Odd (meaning "the tip of the blade", a lucky name) who leaves his mother and her new husband to go and live in the woods one endless winter. There, he meets a bear, an eagle and a fox, and with them, goes to battle the Frost Giants.

It's a very simple tale, but would be good for reading to children, which I am hoping to do at some stage!
