About this listen
Thrilling and fun. A captivating and funny young-adult adventure novel.
This book instantly transports the listener to the near-future in the frozen mountains of Canada.
When their parents died beneath the surface of a frozen lake, brothers Baldr and Thor began new lives as orphans. The loss of their parents gutted them both, but years later, with comfortable homes and good friends, the brothers were thriving.
They set out on a thrilling journey to reach the top of Mount Logan. Along the way, they gain a trusted canine companion, but soon the group is in over its head as they fight the arctic conditions and an ancient power.
Who is waiting at the top of Mount Logan?
What is living in the mountain?

Ryland Grace is the sole survivor on a desperate, last-chance mission - and if he fails, humanity and the Earth itself will perish. Except that right now, he doesn't know that. He can't even remember his own name, let alone the nature of his assignment or how to complete it. All he knows is that he's been asleep for a very, very long time. And he's just been awakened to find himself millions of miles from home, with nothing but two corpses for company.

Annie has always had high hopes for her future. But the reality of her life just isn’t measuring up. She loves her fiancé, Greg–doesn’t she? She’s going to get her degree and open her own business–won’t she? Then, a strange old woman shows up outside her house, and she seems to know a lot about Annie. An awful lot. Annie could tell the old woman to get lost. Yet there’s something about her Annie just can’t shake. And what she learns could change her life forever–but is it the life she envisioned?

Story4 out of 5 stars 122
Compiled by intrepid journalist Neve Pride, this archive of recordings spans the months after dragons emerged on earth, chronicling the communities that sprang up amid the destruction, the scientists, military leaders, and experts searching for a defense, and those steadfastly seeking the missing. Neve and her young daughter Bex travel among the wreckage speaking to those left behind and surviving, against all odds. Neve records everything for history, and in the hopes of locating a clue as to where the dragons came from and how one might stop them.

For some it’s an opportunity. For others it’s a moment to question their faith: In God, in science, in everything. Still others try to keep the world running in the face of absurdity and uncertainty. And then there are the billions looking to the sky and wondering how a thing that was always just there is now... something absolutely impossible.

Not what I had hope for
This was so far off from the stories and maybe my own fantasy’s of Thor that it just was off for me. Loki is Thor uncle ? Thor is slaving a sled up a mountain with a bunch of girls ? The parents are mia for how long? Brain what? Just so far out in left field I could not see where the story could be realistic. Sorry yah it’s a story but has to sound at least believable somehow. I received this book at no charge in exchange for an honest review. Just was not for me. And I love Thor.

Unexpected
I spent most of the book thinking 'wait... WHAT? ' But it was really entertaining and I couldn't stop listening. Based off the title I wasn't really expecting the story that I got.
The plot is creative and entertaining. While the characters names come from No semythology the characters personalities and relationships to each other don't seem to. This was a bit off-putting at times.
I loved the bond between Baldr and Thor, as well as their relationships with Nala and Sophie.
My favorite character was Fennie, totally not what I was expecting from the name.
I received a free copy of this book from the author and/or narrator and/or publisher and I voluntarily wrote this honest review.

Chilly Adventure!
Interesting story! I hate cold weather lol so I was literally shivering most of time! ;)
I'm not very familiar with Norse mythology, but did see some similarities. Baldr & Thor are two brothers dealing with the loss of their parents, and after seeing something strange on Mount Logan, they go off on an adventure to discover its secrets, along with their friends Nala and Sophia.
Follow their journey through friendship, family and lots of adventure!
