| Opplysninger | A thrilling, wintry Nordic epic from the truly magical combination of author Neil Gaiman and illustrator Chris Riddell, weaving a tale of legend, magic and adventure which will grip and enchant readers from beginning to end. Odd, a young Viking boy, is left fatherless following a raid and in his icy, ancient world there is no mercy for an unlucky soul with a crushed foot and no one to protect him. Fleeing to the woods, Odd stumbles upon and releases a trapped bear ... and then Odd's destiny begins to change. The eagle, bear and fox Odd encounters are Norse gods, trapped in animal form by the evil frost giants who have conquered Asgard, the city of the gods. Now our hero must reclaim Thor's hammer, outwit the frost giants and release the gods ... This rich and layered tale of courage is told with humour and in breathtaking style by two creators at the height of their powers: from the author of modern classics such as American Gods, Coraline and The Sleeper and the Spindle, Odd and the Frost Giants will leave you spellbound. Lavishly produced and packed with Chris Riddell's glorious illustration enhanced with metallic ink, this is a spectacular and magical gift. - Odd er en 12 år gammel vikinggutt fra Norge som livet har fart hardt med. Faren hans døde under en vikingferd, så ble Odd halt etter å ha fått beinet skadet i en trefelling, og moren har giftet seg på nytt med en mann Odd ikke liker. Da Odd rømmer til skogs møter han en bjørn, en rev og en ørn. De tre dyrene viser seg å være alt annet enn vanlige dyr. De er egentlig de norrøne gudene Tor, Loke og Odin, som er blitt forvandlet av frostkjempene. Odd vil gjerne gjøre alt han kan for å hjelpe, og blir med til Åsgård for å ta opp kampen med frostkjempene. På veien til Åsgård opplever Odd store eventyr i kampen for å redde de tre norrøne gudene fra iskjempenes forbannelse. Fortelling for mellom-/ungdomstrinnet. - Odd's luck has been bad so far. He lost his father on a Viking expedition, his foot was crushed beneath a tree, and the winter seems to be going on for ever. But when Odd flees to the woods and releases a trapped bear, his luck begins to change. The eagle, bear and fox he encounters reveal they're actually Norse gods, trapped in animal form by the evil frost giants who have conquered Asgard, the city of the gods Can a twelve-year-old boy reclaim Thor's hammer, outwit the frost giants and release the gods?
