The Giants are stirring again and this time they’ve decided to make Eric Johnson work for them. They infect Eric and his friend Stephanie with a disease to weaken the Aesir and the dwarves. Then they set about starting Fimbulwinter to paralyze the rest of the planet while they keep trying to obtain control of Mimir, the Aesir self-aware computer that has the information needed to get everyone back to their home dimension. They also kidnap Loki and try to turn him against his own people and get control of Mimir. But Eric, Tommy and Stephanie don’t take all this lying down.

Book Description
The definitive history of the Vikings -- from arts and culture to politics and cosmology -- by a distinguished archaeologist with decades of expertise The Viking Age -- from 750 to 1050 -- saw an unprecedented expansion of the Scandinavian peoples into the wider world. As traders and raiders, explorers and colonists, they ranged from eastern North America to the Asian steppe. But for centuries, the Vikings have been seen through the eyes of others, distorted to suit the tastes of medieval clerics and Elizabethan playwrights, Victorian imperialists, Nazis, and more. None of these appropriations capture the real Vikings, or the richness and sophistication of their culture. Based on the latest archaeological and textual evidence, Children of Ash and Elm tells the story of the Vikings on their own terms: their politics, their cosmology and religion, their material world. Known today for a stereotype of maritime violence, the Vikings exported new ideas, technologies, beliefs, and practices to the lands they discovered and the peoples they encountered, and in the process were themselves changed. From Eirík Bloodaxe, who fought his way to a kingdom, to Gudrid Thorbjarnardóttir, the most traveled woman in the world, Children of Ash and Elm is the definitive history of the Vikings and their time.

Book Description
When Eric Johnson moved from Philadelphia a year ago, he didn't have any friends in the Lehigh Valley. Now he had a lot of them, just not the usual sort for a twelve-year old boy. Aside from Tommy Kuhns and Stephanie Fuller-two young children his own age—Eric's house was often visited by Norse Gods, Rock Dwarves, Valkyr, and unfortunately the occasional Frost Giant. And most teens weren't caught up in a war that crossed multiple dimensions. Now the Frost Giants were trying to get access to Enigma Caverns and the Lost River, so they could continue their battle against the Aesir. Eric, Tommy and Stephanie had to find out why the Giants really wanted the Lost River and stop the Giants from taking control of Enigma Caverns. Then Eric is thrown into the Lost River and disappears, and things really get strange! The Giants are looking for a way back to their home dimension and they believe Eric knows the way home, or at least how to find the way home. So they kidnap Eric’s aunt and demand an exchange: the knowledge for his aunt. But Eric has two secret weapons on his side: the ancient battle computer known as MMR and a creation of the Giants’ own laboratories—a giant dragon called Fornir.

Book Description
The #1 New York Times bestseller—a “gripping, suspenseful” (Washington Post) retelling of Norse myths—now with spectacular illustrations. In this dazzling, illustrated edition of the instant classic that has sold more than a million copies, award-winning illustrator Levi Pinfold brings Neil Gaiman’s bravura rendition of the Norse gods and their world to life. Bursting off the page with breathtaking, full-color art are tales of fierce battles with giants, storied quests for knowledge, and the gods in Asgard: Odin, the highest of the high, wise, daring, and cunning; Thor, Odin’s son, incredibly strong, yet not the wisest of gods; and Loki—son of a giant—blood brother to Odin and a trickster and unsurpassable manipulator. Gaiman fashions these primeval stories into a novelistic arc that takes us from the genesis of the legendary nine worlds to Ragnorak, the twilight of the gods and the rebirth of a new time. Through his epic storytelling and Pinfold’s enthralling images, these gods emerge with their fiercely competitive natures, their susceptibility to being duped and to duping others, and their tendency to let passion ignite their actions, breathing vivid life into these long-ago myths. “Who else but Neil Gaiman could become an accomplice of the gods, using the sorcery of words to make their stories new?” —Maria Tatar, translator and editor of The Annotated Brothers Grimm “Gaiman brings rakish mischief and severe glamour to the Norse canon.” —The New Yorker “Remarkable. . . . Gaiman has provided an enchanting contemporary interpretation of the Viking ethos.” —Lisa L. Hannett, Atlantic “A lively, funny and very human rendition of Thor the thunder god, his father Odin and the dark-hearted trickster Loki (plus countless other gods and monsters).” —Petra Mayer, NP
