Descrizione
In Viking times, Norse myths predicted the end of the world, an event called Ragnarok, that only the gods can stop. When this apocalypse happens, the gods must battle the monsters--wolves the size of the sun, serpents that span the seabeds, all bent on destroying the world.
The gods died a long time ago.
Matt Thorsen knows every Norse myth, saga, and god as if it was family history--because it is family history. Most people in the modern-day town of Blackwell, South Dakota, in fact, are direct descendants of either Thor or Loki, including Matt's classmates Fen and Laurie Brekke.
However, knowing the legends and completely believing them are two different things. When the rune readers reveal that Ragnarok is coming and kids--led by Matt--will stand in for the gods in the final battle, he can hardly believe it. Matt, Laurie, and Fen's lives will never be the same as they race to put together an unstoppable team to prevent the end of the world.
RUNNING TIME ⇒ 7hrs. and 45mins.

Loki's Wolves is the first book in a new YA series, it's a collaboration between Kelley Armstrong and Melissa Marr. This is DEFINITELY a Young Adult book, the premise is wonderful. The Norse Myths and Viking gods of old, 'hero' have been selected to represent the gods and these young kids must save the world from Ragnarok. The must fight trolls and other monsters, if they lose there will be an apocalypse.I enjoyed this tale of adventure and want to see where these wonderful writers take it. My only issue is that the kids are said to be 13 but they act more like their 15/16.
