Official synopsis Publisher
Fourteen-year-old Zack Gilman is not what you’d call a happy kid. The mild-mannered son of the world’s biggest Minnesota Vikings fan, he is doomed to spend his days being dragged to football games, where he’s forced to sing fight songs and make bratwurst runs for his dad’s boisterous posse. The problem is, Zack hates all organized sports. The other problem is, he’s six-foot-three, weighs 250 pounds, and his dad sees him as the next Vikings football MVP. Zack is back in ninth century Scandinavia once again. Now well aware of his bizarre role among the Vikings, he’s on his way to the mysterious Jotunheim, the Land of the Giants, in search of the object that will fulfill the first of his duties as the legendary “Lost Boy.” Zack has no idea exactly where he is going or what he’ll do when he gets there, but he must get there soon, or risk losing his Viking friends forever.
