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.©2009 Neil Gaiman (P)2009 HarperCollins Publishers Fairy Tales, Folk Tales & Myths Family Life Fantasy & Magic Fiction Growing Up Growing Up & Facts of Life Literature & Fiction Norse Science Fiction & Fantasy Fantasy Science Fiction Funny Feel-Good Winter Magic

What does Neil Gaiman bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Mr. Gaiman, though a professional writer, not a narrator, has the perfect voice to narrate his books. He differentiated the voices very well, had a good pace and, best of all, since he wrote the book, he knew how it should sound anyway.

Any additional comments?

A great story gets an even better performance. I listened to this with my kids and they loved it just as much as I did. It's the story of Odd and an adventure he goes on after meeting a fox, a bear and an eagle in the woods. I would elaborate, but that would take all the fun out of discovering a great story. Sometimes the best stories are not what you expect, so just trust me: This is a great story for anyone. Take a chance and let yourself be transported.

Love his narrating and imagination. I might be 30 but I enjoy it like a kid might. We all need a little more imagination and a world of our own.

Love this story. Basic, simple fireside tale of a crippled Viking boy who ends up saving the Norse Gods. My little guy and I have listened to it so many times. No violence either, he wins by cleverness. A good lesson. And it's funny!
Highly recommended.

Very nice, simple story

Any additional comments?

This book is for all ages, it brings to life the pathos of the boy, the striving of the Gods and Giants and more than anything what it means to come home! Thank you Mr Gaiman, now on to Coraline.

Another great tale and his narration is always just right. It's told in a very cool tall tale sort of way.
