The Sleeping Army
Francesca Simon
Freya is an ordinary girl living in modern Britain, but with a twist: people still worship the Viking gods. One evening, stuck with her dad on his night shift at the British Museum, she is drawn to the Lewis Chessmen and Heimdall’s Horn. Unable to resist, she blows the horn, waking three chess pieces from their enchantment; the slaves Roskva and Alfi, and Snot the Berserk. They are all summoned to Asgard, land of the Viking gods, and told they must go on a perilous journey to restore the gods to youth.
If Freya refuses she will be turned into an ivory chess piece but, if she accepts her destiny and fails, the same terrible fate awaits her.

I loved it when Freya flew into the volcano. My favourite character was Freya. I would love to recommend it to somebody else.

It was a little bit scary and a bit sad but it is about afterlife, giants and gods. I loved it!

I would really recommend it to someone else because it’s interesting. It is about a girl who blows a horn and wakes up an army who go and get the apples of youth off a giant.
