Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard: The Hammer of Thor by Rick Riordan- Another triumph by Mr. Riordan. This is the second in the series about the demigods of Norse mythology gods. Thor has lost his hammer and Magnus and his friends face death, again, to find it. I love Rick Riordan's different mythology series. Even though it is fiction, you still learn a lot about the Norse gods and the action is always great.
Stork by Wendy Delsol: Speaking of Norse gods, some of them are referenced in this fantastic new book and I knew who they were because of reading Magnus Chase. This is a fantastic story about Katla. Her and her mom have moved back to MN from LA and she finds she is part of an ancient society, The Storks, who assign infant souls to their earthy "vessels," (moms). She also finds out some secrets of her family and neighbors. This book also keeps the action going. As soon as Katla makes one discovery about her life, another one is right around the corner. What is great about this book is that it is a trilogy and I already have the other two books at the library.
