📘 Odd and the Frost Giants by Neil Gaiman

In Neil Gaiman’s compact novel, 12‑year‑old Odd from a small Norwegian village faces relentless hardship: a lost father, a broken leg, and a harsh winter. While wandering the woods, he meets a bear, a fox, and an eagle—each bearing mysterious tales. Odd’s journey takes him beyond his village to Asgard, where the Frost Giants threaten the gods in a desperate campaign of invasion. With courage, wit, and the help of the animal companions, Odd must strategize to restore peace to the divine city and end the long winter that grips both mortal and celestial realms. The story weaves elements of Norse mythology, heroic adventure, and the undercurrent of a child’s resilience, making it a vivid and engaging read for young audiences.
