    In case you haven’t heard, Rick Riordan has launched a new book series called “Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard.” Oh and in case you don’t know who Rick Riordan is, he is the author of the amazing “Percy Jackson” series. That series was all about Greek Mythology but the newest series is all about Norse mythology.

    Honestly I had no clue what Norse mythology was, I didn’t know there was anything other than Greek mythology! Well Norse mythology is basically mythology of the North Germanic people. It features its own deities, beings and heroes from before and after the pagan period. The most well known god is probably Thor, yes the guy with the big hammer. Norse myths and legends have spread throughout European literary culture in Scandinavia, Germany and Britain. (Thanks Wikipedia!)

    Last year he released the book ddd and now the newest book in the series is launching:

    Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard: Book 2

    By Rick Riordan

    Release: October 4, 2016

    The second installment in Rick Riordan’s blockbuster Norse mythology series has Magnus and friends helping the god of thunder find his missing weapon before all Muspellheim breaks loose.

    Thor’s hammer is missing again. The thunder god has a disturbing habit of misplacing his weapon–the mightiest force in the Nine Worlds. But this time the hammer isn’t just lost, it has fallen into enemy hands. If Magnus Chase and his friends can’t retrieve the hammer quickly, the mortal worlds will be defenseless against an onslaught of giants. Ragnarok will begin. The Nine Worlds will burn. Unfortunately, the only person who can broker a deal for the hammer’s return is the gods’ worst enemy, Loki–and the price he wants is very high.

    For Magnus Chase: Hotel Valhalla Guide to the Norse Worlds (An Official Rick Riordan Companion Book): Your Introduction to Deities, Mythical Beings & Fantastic Creatures

    Release: August 16, 2016

    So you’ve made it to Valhalla.  Now what?

    This “who’s who” guide to the gods, goddesses, and other important figures of Norse mythology was commissioned by Helgi, who, after more than a millennium as manager of Hotel Valhalla, became fed up with answering the same questions from newly deceased heroes at check-in. The profiles provide essential stats, interviews, and personal reflections so you can identify the gods and avoid those awkward introductions. Handy facts about other beings round out this go-to tome. You’ll never see Ratatosk as a cute little rodent or confuse a dwarf with an elf ever again!

      This looks like a book that my daughter would enjoy. She’s a huge reading so keeping her supplied in books can be tough.
