Zack Gilman: high school freshman, Viking warriorZack Gilman is frustrated with his life in Minneapolis—his football-crazed father, Jock, constantly embarrasses him, the love of his life doesn’t know he exists, and former friend-turned-bully Eric Spangler won’t stop tormenting him. It’s enough to make Zack wish he were anywhere but home. But when Zack is suddenly transported to a strange world filled with terrifying beasts, equally terrifying foods, and a really big Viking named Jok, Minneapolis doesn’t seem quite so bad anymore. And the worst part about Zack’s new situation is that Jok thinks that Zack has come to fulfill an ancient prophecy and lead Jok’s tribe to victory against a bloodthirsty chieftain, Erik the Horrible. Still, weird as this place is . . . there’s something awfully familiar about it.

What will happen when the prophecy is fulfilled? Mild-mannered Zack Gilman is not your ordinary high school freshman. Once content to hang around his house in Minneapolis inventing cool gadgets and making mix CDs for his crush, Ashley, he now spends half his time in the ninth century with Viking warriors in search of three treasures that will fulfill his destiny as the legendary Lost Boy. Now there is only one more treasure left—and the journey to find it will be Zack’s most harrowing yet. It lies in Asgard: the home of the Viking gods. And once Zack has it in his hands, only Thor himself knows what will happen.

Zack Gilman: time traveler, honor student, dead guy. Back in the ninth century once again, Zack joins the rest of his Viking crew as they set off for the mysterious Norse world of Niflheim, where they must recover the next treasure of Yggdrasil’s Chest. They know it won’t be easy, but they find a lot more trouble than they’d bargained for. Hel, the ruler of the Viking land of the dead, is determined to keep her new guests imprisoned in her freaky palace forever. She has many tricks up her sleeve—from a hideous flesh-eating dragon to a maze of moving walls to an army of undead warriors—and she’ll use everything she’s got to make sure Zack never makes it out alive. . . .

Zack Gilman is not your ordinary high school freshman. The mild-mannered son of a football-obsessed father, Zack has always been happier staying home and playing with his inventions than sitting in a crowded stadium watching a Minnesota Vikings game. But recently Zack’s world has turned upside down when he was unexpectedly thrown back in time to ninth-century Scandinavia where he met some real Vikings. Now Zack is back in this wild and dangerous ancient world and on his way to the mysterious Jotunheim, the Norse land of the giants, in search of the object that will fulfill the first of his duties as the legendary “Lost Boy.” Only this time, he arrives to find that his Viking friends have all mysteriously disappeared . . . and he’s on his own.
