"Readers will clamor for more, especially those who loved Rick Riordan’s Norse-themed The Sword of Summer.” --ALA Booklist

Two friends awaken a world of myth and magic in this epic middle grade fantasy perfect for fans of Rick Riordan and Anne Ursu.

It’s not every day that you find a famous weatherwoman bound by magic to a tree deep in the woods. Or discover that the weatherwoman is in fact Sunna, the Norse Goddess of the Sun, and one of the seven day guardians who keep time in order. But that’s just what happens to new friends Buzz and Mary—and it’s only the start of their adventure.

Now, as the people of Earth are forced to repeat the same Saturday over and over again, Buzz and Mary must journey to collect the Runes of Valhalla and awaken the other day guardians, before vengeful god Loki can get to them first.

Gods and Goddesses: When a famous weatherwoman turns out to be Sunna, the Goddess of the Sun, two friends are pulled into a hidden world where legends are dangerously real. Modern Mythology: Set in the present day, this adventure brings ancient Norse figures like Loki, Odin, and Fenris crashing into the lives of two ordinary kids. Unlikely Friendship: Buzz, the son of a mythology expert who hates myths, and Mary, the brilliant new girl in town, must team up to save the world. A High-Stakes Quest: To stop time from repeating and save the other guardians, Buzz and Mary must find the legendary Runes of Valhalla before the trickster god gets there first. Talking Animals and Magical Creatures: Guided by a snarky, talking squirrel and hunted by a fearsome dragon, this journey is packed with fantasy creatures.
