One of the most successful and well known authors, Rick Riordan, is now coming out with a new series.  Following his usual fashion of making mythology of different cultures well known, Rick Riordan is making a new series on Norse mythology.  The Magnus Chase series will be hitting shelves on October 6th, 2015 with their first book called The Sword of Summer.  

Magnus has always been a homeless, troubled kid on the streets of Boston.  But when on his sixteenth birthday he talks to a strange and dangerous man he learned the truth.  His father was a Norse god.  Now Magnus has to journey through the Nine Worlds to find a special weapon that has been lost for thousands of years. With trolls, giants, and worst monsters on his tail.  But when Boston is attacked by fire giants Magnus must make a big decision, save himself, or thousands of innocent lives. What would you choose?

This 640 page book will sure be a page turner.  But make sure you get your copy at most stores, or be the first to recommend it in our school or Schlow library.
