Odin's Ravens
K.L. Armstrong & M.A. Marr
Summary from Goodreads (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/16060302-odin-s-ravens?ac=1):
Seven kids, Thor's hammer, and a whole lot of Valkyries are the only things standing against the end of the world.
When thirteen-year-old Matt Thorsen, a modern day descendant of the Norse god Thor, was chosen to represent Thor in an epic battle to prevent the apocalypse he thought he knew how things would play out. Gather the descendants standing in for gods like Loki and Odin, defeat a giant serpent, and save the world. No problem, right?
But the descendants' journey grinds to a halt when their friend and descendant Baldwin is poisoned and killed and Matt, Fen, and Laurie must travel to the Underworld in the hopes of saving him. But that's only their first stop on their journey to reunite the challengers, find Thor's hammer, and stop the apocalypse--a journey filled with enough tooth-and-nail battles and larger-than-life monsters to make Matt a legend in his own right.
Norse folklore is probably my favorite. Even more than Greek mythology (though THAT is really freaking incredible!) This book continues the story of Matt Thorsen (Thor representative) and his friends going through the Underworld to save their friend that died in the first book. This book delves deeper into Norse mythology and I learned a lot about it that I didn't know before--which only included Thor, Odin, and Loki. This story explains SO much more!
There is action, there is love, there is truth and betrayal and you will absolutely love this story! If you liked Percy Jackson or the Kane Chronicles, this is in the same vein, but in my opinion, better, because it has THOR!
