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, keeping one step ahead of the police and the truant officers. One day, he's tracked down by an uncle he barely knows-a man his mother claimed was dangerous. Uncle Randolph 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. When an attack by fire giants forces him to choose between his own safety and the lives of hundreds of innocents, Magnus makes a fatal decision. Sometimes, the only way to start a new life is to die . . .Binding Type: HardcoverAuthor: Rick RiordanPublisher: Disney-HyperionPublished: 10/06/2015ISBN: 9781423160915Pages: 512Weight: 1.55lbsSize: 8.50h x 5.80w x 1.50dReview Citations: Publishers Weekly 08/10/2015Kirkus Reviews 09/15/2015Booklist 10/01/2015 pg. 75New York Times Book Review 11/08/2015 pg. 23School Library Journal 12/01/2015 pg. 106Voice of Youth Advocates 12/01/2015 - Recommended - Better Than MostHorn Book Magazine 01/01/2016 pg. 100Bulletin of Ctr for Child Bks 01/01/2016Accelerated Reader Quiz #/Name: 177142 / Sword of SummerReading Level: 4.8 / Interest Level: Middle Grade / Point Value: 18
