We got this last fall and William and I have read it twice now. I know it's one he'll revisit--in part because it's short and in part because it's such a great story.

It was pretty darn cute, I must say!

I remember reading about that on his blog back in 2008, but I'd forgotten all about it. Thanks for the reminder!

You're welcome - I think you'll like it!

Definitely middlegrade, definitely wonderful. I so enjoyed the way the gods' characters came through.

Same.

Neil Gaiman sure does like him some Norse gods! Aside from his writing American Gods, he apparently wished that he had written Diana Wynne Jones' Eight Days of Luke (which, by the way, you might like, in the vein of "kids rescuing Norse gods").

I shall look for Eight Days of Luke - sounds good!

And yeah - American Gods still blows my mind.
