The story Magnus Chase Sword of Summer is about a homeless guy who’s name is…. I will let you guess. Magnus’ Mom past away in a fire, but not just a regular fire, it was caused by the wolves. Living under bridges, Magnus realizes his crazy relatives are looking for him, and decides to scout out his uncle's house while he was gone. Magnus however, gets caught and his uncle takes him to a bridge where he summons the sword of summer and then kills the giant Surt. As he does this he is killed, but he is taken to Hotel Valhalla where Odin’s, the king of the god’s, warriors live. He becomes stronger than before. The Hotel and the people that live there don’t accept him. Soon he leaves the hotel with his past and new found friends to retrieve the sword and stop an evil wolf from escaping. Will he survive?
This story relates to American culture because it shows how Americans have all types of theories of religion. Even though this is a fiction book, some people actually might believe this along with the other mythologies. In other countries there is usually one religion, but in America there are many different beliefs of how the Earth was created and what really happened. That is how it relates to america.
I would recommend this book because it is action packed and it is very interesting to learn about Norse mythology. This book is full of magic and battles. This book is not a quick read, it is about 500 pages and every bit of it is great. I would totally recommend this book to kids my age. Adults might not like it, but I do.
