5.0

Odin's Family: Myths of the Vikings is a highly accessible retelling of the Norse myths by Neil Philip. It completely captivated my 10-year-old. It's specifically written for children and packed with colorful illustrations by Maryclare Foa. I enjoyed it much more than D'Aulaires' Book of Norse Myths.

This book was okay. It is geared toward a younger audience. However, it does have a few darker themes or ideas that might scare younger children. It does give an interesting viewpoint on the Norse Gods. I would recommend reading it once for information's sake; but, I don't think I will ever read it again for the fun of it.
