Good versus evil is a timeless plot device, using it with original mythology from different countries around the world is unique. When we first meet Aldo we learn he has a pet cat who is more than he seems. Odin, the cat with only one eye, just like the Norse god is in fact THE Norse god! Aldo loves training, with his friends, to one day save the world. They’ve been practising sword fighting (with wooden swords, of course), Morse code and skills needed to be a superhero. Then Odin arrives in their lives and sweeps them into first one, now three, soon to be four, epic adventures where those skills they’ve been practising might just be needed!

 

In book one they need to save the world from the gigantic wolf Fenrir, monstrous as he is they are going to have to find a way to send him back through the portal he emerged from. IN their second world-saving epic adventure the intrepid group Hecate, Queen of the Goblin’s is convinced that Aldo’s baby brother is the rumoured, still alive and on this earth, Odin. She plans to take the baby, steal Odin’s power and rule the world, this adventure is, if it’s possible, even more exciting and thrilling. That’s not all though, there are more ancient gods hiding among us on earth and we are about to discover that the ancient Greek god of the sea, Poseidon, is real and is currently a goldfish! Enter a world of sea monsters, the like of which surely only exist in myths … right …?
