HIGH-DEMAND BACKSTORY: Norse myths are in right now, and Riordan has the magic touch, a combination that makes the extensive marketing campaign seem almost redundant."- Booklist Product Details Buy extra copies, and prepare for the siege. There’s appeal for new readers, but Percy Jackson fans will also undoubtedly snap this up, and there’s even some overlap: Magnus’ cousin is Annabeth Chase. He stays fairly close to the spirit of the original myths, twisting them for extra comedic effect-Avengers fans may hardly recognize this blustery, red-headed, TV-binge-watching Thor. Bonus content includes a chapter from Magnus Chase Book 3: SHIP OF THE DEAD and a chapter from the first Rick Riordan Presents book, ARU SHAH AND THE END OF TIME by Roshani Chokshi."Riordan has once again created a reluctant hero who finds himself out of his depth.
Unfortunately, the only person who can broker a deal for the hammer's return is the gods' worst enemy, Loki-and the price he wants is very high. Since his mothers mysterious death, hes lived alone on the streets of Boston, surviving by his wits, keeping one step ahead of the police and the truant officers. Magnus Chase has always been a troubled kid. If Magnus Chase and his friends can't retrieve the hammer quickly, the mortal worlds will be defenseless against an onslaught of giants. Magnus Chase, a homeless boy living in Boston, finds out he is the son of a Norse god. But this time the hammer isn't just lost, it has fallen into enemy hands. The thunder god has a disturbing habit of misplacing his weapon-the mightiest force in the Nine Worlds. A surefire hit."- Booklist New York Times #1 best-selling series Hilarious and thrilling take on Norse mythology, Rick's favorite Features a diverse cast of characters from different races, ethnicities, religions, and lifestyles Winner of the ALA's Stonewall Award for GLBT children's literature Ties in to Percy Jackson series Includes teaser chapter for Book 3 Ideal for middle schoolers but can be enjoyed by older readers, too Thor's hammer is missing again. There's some crossover with characters from Riordan's other series, and the ending promises more overlap in future installments. "Riordan combines Norse mythology with a number of social issues: gender fluidity, disability, and race and religion. In the second installment in Rick Riordan's blockbuster Norse mythology trilogy, now in paperback, Magnus and company have to help find Thor's missing weapon before all Muspellheim breaks loose.
