K.L. Armstrong and M.A. Marr had been friends for several years and found themselves spending hours talking about mythology and monsters. With that shared interest, in addition to K.L.'s love for tackling creatures in video games when not writing (and sometimes when she's supposed to be writing), their monster and myth fixation, and the books they read with their sons, they knew they had to write the Blackwell Pages.

engaging characters. I was hooked from the first hammer

Fowl

Jackson and the Olympians' series."--School Library Journal

contemporary twist, and plenty of heart. I can't wait to find out
what happens to Matt, Laurie, and Fen!"--Ally Condie, author of the

the story moves past the background, the plot picks up quickly and
the adventure doesn't disappoint."--Library Media Connection

myth-lovers already familiar with Norse lore..."--Bulletin of the
Center for Children's Books
