This is a cute book based on Norse mythology about Odd, a disabled boy from a small village who gets caught up in a matter of the Gods.
It's fairly short and written in a fairy-tale style, complete with detailed black and white illustrations by Brett Helquist.
It's beautiful to see a physically disabled protagonist defeat the bad guys and do things only able-bodied boys in middle grade fiction. This might be the first MG book with a disabled protagonist with such a wide audience (and whose disability isn't magically healed in the end).
