Magnus Chase and the Sword of Summer by Rick Riordan

“Magnus Chase has always been a troubled kid. Since his mother's mysterious death, he's lived alone on the streets of Boston, surviving by his wits.One day, he's tracked down by an uncle he's never met - who 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.”

eBook of the Week:

Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan

The book that started it all! A new Percy Jackson TV series is currently in production at Disney so now is the perfect time to read the book for the first (or second, or, ahem, fifth) time.

“Half boy. Half God. ALL Hero. Look, I didn't want to be a half-blood. I never asked to be the son of a Greek God. I was just a normal kid, going to school, playing basketball, skateboarding. The usual. Until I accidentally vaporized my maths teacher. Now I spend my time battling monsters and generally trying to stay alive. This is the one where Zeus, God of the Sky, thinks I've stolen his lightning bolt - and making Zeus angry is a very bad idea.”
