Odd and the Frost Giants, by Neil Gaiman.

The latest children's title by the author of the Newbery winner, The Graveyard Book, is another engaging work of fantasy. Set in the time of the Vikings and inspired by Norse mythology, Odd and the Frost Giants tells the story of an unusual 12 year old boy aptly named Odd. An eternal winter has settled on Odd's homeland, caused by the fearsome Frost Giants who have taken over Asgard, the city of the gods. It's up to Odd, with the help of some animal friends who are more than they seem, to end the Frost Giants evil reign, restore the gods to their proper place, and break the spell of bitter cold.
