Nine tales from the Nine Worlds. Let’s hope Magnus has nine lives… Take a trip through the landscape of the Norse myths with Magnus and his buddies. Ice, fire, thunder and daft mishaps! Find out why Amir Fadlan hates clothes shopping in Midgard. Visit icy Niflheim, as Mallory Keen learns that insulting a dragon is a good idea. And join Alex Fierro as they play with fire (and a disco sword) in the home of the fire giants, Muspellheim. Sounds like fun, right? But watch out for Thor! He’s jogging through all the Nine Worlds so he can log his million steps – and he’s raising quite a stink. Ugh!

Rick Riordan

Rick Riordan is a teacher and a writer, and has won many awards for his mystery novels for adults. He says that the idea for Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief first came to him while he was teaching Greek mythology at middle school in San Francisco. But rumour has it that Camp Half Blood actually exists, and Rick spends his summers there recording the adventures of young demigods. Some believe that, to avoid a mass panic among the mortal population, he was forced to swear on the River Styx to present Percy Jackson’s story as fiction. Rick lives in Texas (apart from his summers on Half Blood Hill) with his wife and two sons.
