Take up the quest in the hilariously epic second instalment of the How to be a Hero series, from Cat Weldon, illustrated by Katie Kear.

Welcome to the Land of Lost Things. Unlikely hero Whetstone and trainee Valkyrie Lotta are on a quest to find Whetstone's long-lost father. But when Loki the trickster God sends his monstrous children after them, and Lotta loses her magic shield and, along with it, her powers, things go from bad to worse.

Can Lotta and Whetstone survive a sea-serpent attack, a gigantic wolf who likes his tummy tickled, and a very lonely queen of the dead, to keep the quest on track?

The second in this funny, fast-paced trilogy about how to be a friend, what it means to be a hero, and just how confusing the Norse Gods really are.
