Magnus Chase and the Sword of Summer (Book 1)
Rick Riordan
The first book in the incredible new series from the author of Percy Jackson, the Kane Chronicles and Heroes of Olympus.
My name is Magnus Chase. I’m orphaned and living rough on the streets of Boston. And things are about to get much worse.
My day started out normally enough. I was sleeping under a bridge when some guy kicked me awake and said, ’They’re after you.’ Next thing I know, I’m reunited with my obnoxious uncle, who casually informs me that my long-lost father is a Norse god.
Nothing normal about that. And it turns out the gods of Asgard are preparing for war. Apparently, if I can’t find the sword my father lost two thousand years ago, there will be doom. Doomsday, to be precise.
A fire giant attacking the city?
Immortal warriors hacking each other to pieces?
Unkillable wolves with glowing eyes?
It’s all coming up.
But first I’m going to die. This is the story of how my life goes downhill from there…
Reviews
I read the Percy Jackson books so I wanted to read this series because it's written by the same author.

I think this book was quite shocking to understand but still was a nice book. It has many interesting sub-titles and funny jokes

It is a very funny book. As well as being mythical. I would definitely recommend this book to children who like a bit of humor.

I found it very interesting because of Jack, the talking sword (aka the Sword of Summer), and how Sam and Magnus became very good friends.

Well I don't think it was fiction it was probably a myth. I liked Magnus best . It was the cover page of the book that caught my eye , anyways people gotta see such masterpieces.

It is really interesting and the story always changes so you don't get bored but what I don't really like is how there is never really a wild change.

This book is definitely one of my favourite books. It’s so funny. My favourite part is when Magnus was fighting Surtur and he sad that he heroically fell on his bottom. This book is so good that I would rate it seven out of five stars. I also like the way that Magnus Chase is actually Annabeth Chase’s cousin and that she is in the Percy Jackson series; it’s like a crossover!

I liked the mix of modern and Norse mythology. Sam is my favourite character because her father is Loki but she is his complete opposite .

I liked the mix of modern and Norse mythology. Alex is my favourite character because his/her mother is Loki but she/he is the complete opposite of him.
