Magnus Chase has seen his share of trouble. Ever since that terrible night two years ago when his mother told him to run, he has lived alone on the streets of Boston, surviving by his wits, staying one step ahead of the police and truant officers.
One day, he's tracked down by an uncle he barely knows-a man his mother claimed was dangerous. Uncle Randolph tells him an impossible secret: Magnus is the son of a Norse god.
The Viking myths are true. The gods of Asgard are preparing for war. Trolls, giants, and worse monsters are stirring for doomsday. To prevent Ragnarok, Magnus must search the Nine Worlds for a weapon that has been lost for thousands of years.
When an attack by fire giants forces him to choose between his own safety and the lives of hundreds of innocents, Magnus makes a fatal decision.
Sometimes, the only way to start a new life is to die . . .

This is an amazing book. If you are looking for a good interesting book that is popular, involves mythology and is un put down able, this is the book fot you.

They eat cool stuff and its really cool and the genre is fanticy. It is a garbanzo bean book. Do or donut.

As a Rick Riordan fan, I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It was filled with action and adventure and, I would recommend this book to everyone.

This book was okay I guess. It is about Annabeth's cousin Magnus and his adventures related Asgard mythology. I just feel like Rick Riordan is dragging on to his previous series. I didn't like this book.

I want to read this SO bad!!!

This book is honestly one of my favorites! It is full of action, humor, Norse mythology and more! It is a great way to learn more about Norse Mythology through reading a truly awesome fun thrilling book!

Great book and same author of the Percy Jackson books woohoo so I'm not surprised that the books are this good these adventourous stories just are awesome.

I LOVE THE PERCY JACKSON SERIES AND THE KANE CHRONICLE SERIES!! And just Rick Riordan's books in general; he is such a great writer!!! I know this book will be just as great as well because it will be about mythology and magic which are the two genres of reading that i stick with all the time. I cant wait to read this book (and the rest of the series) when i have the chance!! >w<

I have been obsessed with Rick Riordan for a while now. I have read most of his books and this one did not disappoint me. My favorite character was definitely Alex and this book should definitely be on your must-read shelf.
