Odd's luck has been bad so far. He lost his father on a Viking expedition; his foot was crushed beneath a tree and the winter seems to be going on forever. But when Odd flees to the woods and releases a trapped bear, his luck begins to change.
The eagle, bear and fox he encounters reveal they're actually Norse gods trapped in animal form by the evil frost giants who have conquered Asgard, the city of the gods ...

I'm a huge fan of the author. I wanted to listen to Odd and the Frost Giants as soon as I read the blurb and realised the book features Norse Mythology which I love. Count me in! I enjoyed this a lot. It's clearly intended for younger readers but I read a lot of children's and YA books so this didn't bother me. It's a well-written, engaging and entertaining romp through Norse Mythology. The fact it's read by the author is an added bonus. I'd recommend this.
