The Sword of Summer: Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard, Book One

Magnus Chase is your run of the mill homeless teenager in Boston. He has been hanging out on the street since his mother died. Then things get weird. He discovers that his father is a Norse god. He also dies a few times. But, ends up in Valhalla instead of dead. His homeless friends are also connected to the Norse. They go on all sorts of rolicking adventures and end up on the good side of Odin. It ends with some in-jokes for us readers related to Annabeth from the Percy Jackson books. This book is a little longer than the Percy Jackson books and a little more tedious. It seems things are a matter of life or death for the world, yet they are just average dudes responsible for it.
