Book review	The book is Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard, Book #1 The Sword of summer, the author is Rick Riordan, and it has a total of 466 pages. The book is about a boy named Magnus was a homeless man and was 16 years old, he had been homeless for 2 years and his mother died by a reason that no one knew except for his uncle. This was but his uncle then on his 16 birthday came and tried to find Magnus and when he did told him he needs to go with him now, this is but he didn't want to go with him because his mom told him to never ask for help from her uncles. This is but he wanted answers so he broke into his uncles to get answers and that is where his uncle found him because his uncle since he was 14 tried to find him. 	Then his uncle told him get in the car so he got dragged in there but the whole time was questioning if he should fight back and leave. This is but he didn't because his uncle told him he had answers about everything his dad and everything the kid ever even did have questions about in the world. So then his uncle ended up taking him to this pond because he said that a norse ship crashed in it and what he said next surprised him he said his dad was a norse god and what killed your mom had something to do with all this and that’s what's gonna kill you today if they find you. So then he had to stand over the bridge and hold his hand out trying to pull out a sword which he thought his uncle was crazy for making him do but he listened. Then a old sword that looked like a regular pole came out and he thought it was was garbage, but he still thought that pulling out garbage was pretty cool because he said “ it’s cool I have the power to pull garbage out of the river, the state’s gonna love me for cleaning there ponds.” Then he died but his goal was to go kill Ragnarok because he was a Norse god just like his father, and that’s why he was able to pull up the sword that looked like garbage.	This book was a great book that was a great story but still gives you tough words that you have to use context clues that you have to use to find the word out. I loved that it made your brain work and you learn but your still having fun reading the book and guessing what will happen next. My favorite character was a character that was on fire and asked for the sword. One thing I didn’t like about the authors writing is that some parts are confusing of what is happening in the story line at that point. This is but he did a good job getting the story line to start making sense again after a little bit.	I would recommend this book to someone else because I loved the story line that was in the book.
