About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is facing a situation that feels intimidating or beyond their control and needs a boost of courage to push through the dark. This second installment in the Viking saga follows Zack as he journeys into the Norse land of the dead, Niflheim, to retrieve a sacred treasure. It is a story that emphasizes that true bravery is not the absence of fear, but the ability to keep moving forward despite it. While the setting is mythological and filled with monsters, the emotional core focuses on resilience, self-reliance, and the power of teamwork. The book is perfectly paced for middle-grade readers who enjoy high-stakes adventure and are beginning to explore their own independence. It offers a safe, metaphorical space to discuss how we handle scary unknowns and the importance of trusting one's instincts when the path ahead is unclear.
