Odd and the Frost Giants by Neil Gaiman

Odd and the Frost Giants by Neil Gaiman - 117 pages

Odd walks away from his village during an incredibly long winter.  While staying at his late father's woodcutting hut in the forest, he meets a fox, a bear and an eagle.  Turns out they are the Norse gods turned into animals by a Frost Giant.  Now Odd must help them retake Asgard.

This was a really quick book to read -- like many of Gaiman's books.  I read it on my lunch break.  It read like a myth with a few of Gaiman's touches thrown in.  This would be a book to hand off to those looking for mythology stories.
