Odd and the Frost Giants

In an ancient Norwegian village during a never-ending winter, a crippled twelve-year-old boy named Odd leaves home and retreats to his late father's woodland cabin. Along the way he encounters a bear, a fox, and an eagle, discovering they are actually the Norse gods Thor, Loki, and Odin transformed by Frost Giants who took over Asgard. Odd uses his wits and cheerful resilience rather than brute force to help the gods break the spell and reclaim their city.
