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.
