Appartient à la sérieSleeping Army (1)
Freya is an ordinary girl living in modern Britain, but with a twist: people still worship the Viking gods. One evening, stuck with her dad on his night shift at the British Museum, she is drawn to the Lewis Chessmen and Heimdall's Horn. Unable to resist, she blows the horn, waking three chess pieces from their enchantment; the slaves Roskva and Alfi, and Snot the Berserk. They are all summoned to Asgard, land of the Viking gods, and told they must go on a perilous journey to restore the gods to youth.If Freya refuses she will be turned into an ivory chess piece but, if she accepts her destiny and fails, the same terrible fate awaits her.

This army was supposed to have woken with her, but only three turned up, so they accompany her on her quest. A modern girl, she's pretty clueless about self-sufficiency and as squeamish about what she eats as me (ok, maybe a little less than me). Her companions don't think much of her either, but she proves she's got more resources than she thinks she has and does a mean trick of using kindness and consideration to people that have never known it to get through some sticky situations.
I read this in one sitting and I thoroughly enjoyed it, although I didn't think I was going to when I started it! It's a well constructed tale with lovely illustrations and delightful imagery. It's writing that brings things to life in one's imagination and I'd love to write like that.
An excellent book for older children and teenagers who like adventure and fantastical beings or legends. ( )
