Owen, Dana, Jon and Sydney know that in order to save the
elementary school and their beloved hometown of Pinewood Bluffs, they must do
whatever it takes to stop the Norse trickster god, Loki, from bringing the
battlefield aboveground. Stowing away on Loki’s sledge seemed like a good idea
until they arrive somewhere they’ve never been, the dark and mysterious
Babylonian branch of the Underworld. The powers of Orpheus’ magical lyre, one
of Loki’s armored gloves and a copy of
Bulfinch’s
Mythology may not be enough to fight
the trickster god. Loki is recruiting heavily from the Underworld. Among his
new soldiers are the Fire serpent, Scorpion King, Birdman, the Mammoth, and the
seriously creepy Thornviper. This volume continues the non-stop adventure and
action of its predecessors. Mythology was never so much fun as this. For kids
chomping at the bit for Percy Jackson, the
Underworld series of books is the perfect teaser. A
glossary at the end completes the mythological picture.
