Mott has experienced too many broken promises, so when she makes a promise, she vows to keep it. Things go terribly wrong when she promises to keep an abandoned dog safe. The problem is that Fenris is a wolf, not a rescue dog, and he is trying to end the world by eating the moon. Fenris is cute and cuddly at first but then quickly becomes destructive and violent and Mott can see the danger he poses. Mott teams up with Thrudi, a Valkyrie from Midgard, and together they try to stop what the prophecy has proclaimed is inevitable- that the world will be destroyed and Fenris will play a key role. 4th- 6th graders will enjoy the fast-paced plot that Greg Van Eekhout creates and will appreciate the creative ideas Mott and Thrudi come up with to try to survive all of the unexpected challenges they face. This book offers a combination of action and suspense that will keep readers engrossed.
