How to Be a Hero
Tales from a Terrible Viking
Checking Availibility...Description
A hilarious high-stakes fantasy adventure about friendship and bravery set in the world of the Norse Gods, for fans of How to Train Your Dragon, from debut author Cat Weldon. A viking thief desperate to be a hero. A trainee valkyrie on a mission to prove herself. An un godly case of mistaken identity. When trainee valkyrie Lotta mistakes an unconscious viking thief, Whetstone, for a fallen hero and takes him triumphantly to Valhalla, things are definitely not turning out to be epic or glorious. Having lost a precious talking cup, Whetstone is also desperate to cover up his mistake and the two embark on a quarrelsome journey to find it and regain their heroic status. But Loki the trickster God is desperate to get his hands on the cup with a plan to unleash chaos across the nine worlds. Can Whetstone prove himself a hero after all when it matters most? The first in a hilarious and fast-paced trilogy about how to be brave, what it means to be a hero and just how confusing the Norse Gods really are.
