Odd

It is very "odd" how I did not remember to post about this book I read as I thoroughly enjoyed it and it is written by award winning author Neil Gaiman as well! The title is " Odd and the Frost Giants".
This story takes place in the harsh northern Scandinavian woods where Odd, the main character, flees to the woods to escape his unhappy and unlucky life. After releasing a trapped bear he is followed by the bear, an eagle and a fox who reveal to him they are actually Norse gods trapped in animal forms by the evil Frost Giants. They ask Odd to reclaim Thor's hammer in order to release them. Can he do it? It is wonderfully written and just fun to read about a topic probably very new to many.
