Matthew Thorson is a decedent of Thor, and has just been named the Champion of Thor. We follow Matt as he figures out what that entails, and how he is supposed to go about changing his destiny. Matt's first quest is to locate the other champions then collect the items he needs to fight the Midgard Serpent and stop Ragnarök, the end of the world.
LOKI'S WOLVES is by far one of the most entertaining and enlightening tales I have read in quite a while. Armstong and Marr have done such a wonderful job intertwining mythology into this story that any young reader will learn a great deal as well as have a delightful tale running through their minds. LOKI'S WOLVES is a story for the ages, it is one that many a generation could enjoy and learn a lot from. It is a great story and I really cannot wait for the next.
Book Summary
"The runes have spoken. We have our champion...Matthew
Thorsen."
Matt hears the words, but he can't
believe
them. He's Thor's representative? Destined to fight
trolls,
monstrous wolves and giant serpents...or the world ends?
He's only thirteen.
While Matt knew he was a
modern-day descendent of Thor, he's always lived a normal
kid's life. In fact, most people in the small town of
Blackwell, South Dakota, are direct descendants of either
Thor or Loki, including Matt's classmates Fen and Laurie
Brekke. No big deal.
But now Ragnarok is coming,
and
it's up to the champions to fight in the place of the
long-dead gods. Matt, Laurie, and Fen's lives will never
be
the same as they race to put together an unstoppable team,
find Thor's hammer and shield, and prevent the end of the
world.
