Used book – Odd and the Frost Giants, Neil Gaiman, Valérie Le Plouhinec

In a remote Nordic village lives Odd, a twelve-year-old boy for whom luck is rarely on his side: his father never returned from a Viking expedition, and a tree crushed his leg, leaving him lame. This year, the frigid winter never ends, making the villagers grumpy and suspicious. An eagle, a bear, and a fox teach Odd why winter has engulfed the land: the frost giants have frozen it. Only a very special boy, clever, optimistic, and with an eternal smile, would be able to restore order among the gods and warmth among men...

"Both a successful children's book and a collector's item that adults will enjoy. Children will love Odd's quiet heroism and adventure; adults will adore the squabbling gods. Ultimately, another winning combination for Gaiman." Kirkus Reviews
