About this listen

Big trouble...

Reunited with his aristocratic magical relatives and finally getting used to his supernatural powers, orphaned ex-pickpocket Jake Everton, the young Lord Griffon, travels on his first-ever holiday to beautiful Norway. There, at the amazing Invention Convention, his cousin Archie, the boy genius, plans to unveil his marvelous new flying machine to the scientific world. But legends of the Viking Age die hard in Scandinavia.

Danger strikes as famous Victorian scientists start mysteriously disappearing. When Archie vanishes, too, Jake races to the rescue. With the help of his trusty pet gryphon, he tracks the kidnapper to his lair, only to come face-to-face with an angry Norse giant!

From the whimsical steampunk oddities of the Invention Convention to wondrous worlds of Norse mythology, join Jake and his friends on a giant-sized adventure full of hair-raising dangers and big laughs!

An awesome addition to the series! I loved the characters, elements of the story and especially the travels through 'other' lands. It takes fairy tales, myths and legends and shakes them all together. Our friends and some new companions begin on a new, intriguing journey that will have you both cheering for and against our own species (at times). I appreciated that the author noted some of our faults as well as those of the non-humans.

As before, the narrator did a wonderful job giving different voices to the different characters.

I can't wait for the next one!

I received a free copy of this audio book from the author, publisher or narrator in exchange for an unbiased review.

Entertaining story brimming with life lessons!

As a story, taken as a fairy tale, this book is fun and exciting. But, if you know much at all about Old Norse Mythology, this may grate on you a bit here and there, and even insult anyone who follows the Norse Pagan Faith at one point.
If you're a kid who doesn't know much or anything about it, this is just a fun adventure with mythological overtones. I highly recommend for younger audiences (though parental discretion is advised).

A Fun, If Inaccurate, Adventure

The narrator did a great job voicing different characters. And my children and I loved how it was silly and adventurous. Favorite characters were Princess Kiah, Thor, Odin, and of course Jake.

Dagger The gift Jake got from Odin held a lot of importance.
