Big Trouble...

Reunited with his aristocratic magical relatives, and finally getting used to his supernatural powers, orphaned ex-pickpocket Jake Everton, the young Lord Griffon, travels on his first-ever holiday to beautiful Norway. There, at the amazing Invention Convention, his cousin Archie, the boy genius, plans to unveil his marvelous new flying machine to the scientific world. But legends of the Viking Age die hard in Scandinavia.

Danger strikes as famous Victorian scientists start mysteriously disappearing. When Archie vanishes, too, Jake races to the rescue. With the help of his trusty pet Gryphon, he tracks the kidnapper to his lair, only to come face-to-face with—an angry Norse giant!

From the whimsical steampunk oddities of the Invention Convention to wondrous worlds of Norse mythology, join Jake and his friends on a giant-sized adventure full of hair-raising dangers and big laughs!

I am 10 and personaly liked the story very much. I liked the characters and the plot.
I would like to tell the characters and who i liked the most but I dont want to spoil the story...
Well...good listening

Dagger The gift Jake got from Odin held a lot of importance.

The narrator did a great job voicing different characters. And my children and I loved how it was silly and adventurous. Favorite characters were Princess Kiah, Thor, Odin, and of course Jake.
