It is the fairly short, straightforward tale of an unlucky 12-year-old Norse boy named Odd, who has a shattered leg but runs away from home, and his abusive stepfather, after an extended, ongoing winter leaves everyone in the village leaner and a fair bit meaner. My local library hosts an annual book sale around this time of year, and I was lucky enough to uncover a copy of Odd and the Frost Giants, complete with beautiful illustrations by Brett Helquist (whose art you might know from A Series of Unfortunate Events). I find his lyrical style and deft weaving together of the magical and the mundane enchanting, while the themes of myth, memory, and storytelling that permeate his work resonate with my personal thoughts and priorities. Neil Gaiman is, enduringly, one of my favorite authors.
