Why Wombly and I Enjoyed This Book:
- Mainly, it was about Norse mythology.
- Not only did it contain Norse mythology, but it was a well-researched story with Norse mythology.
- Odd is adorable.
- Odd carries the viking spirit and doesn't let bad things stop him from being a warrior and a lover of life.
Wombly and I Read This Book Because:
- I enjoyed reading The Norse Myths by Kevin Crossley-Holland.
- I enjoyed Coraline and Wolves in the Walls and MirrorMask by Neil Gaiman.
- I love Brett Helquist. I love his style. He's one of those illustrators where even if I don't know who the author is I will try reading the book because I love him so much. (ALSO: I didn't realize it but Brett Helquist did the cover art for Fly by Night by Frances Hardinge, which is one of my personal favorites, and was also published by HarperCollins.)
