Dahl, Michael.  Twilight of the Gods Capstone Publishers  2017       56p  $20.49  ISBN 978-1-4965-3489-7  elem/ms  Series: Norse Myths  Graphic novel  VG-BN

The Norse gods of the heavenly realm of Asgard face their final battle when they have to fight their mortal enemies, the giants of Ragnarok. In this retelling of a story from Norse mythology, author Dahl has teamed up with a fabulous Mexican artist named Eduardo Garcia. The drawings are full of detail and fire, especially the ones showing battle scenes. The story is divided into chapters to help with plot organization, and there are discussion questions, writing prompts, a glossary, a note about the mythology, a listing of the gods and monsters, and notes about author and illustrator.
This one would be a great addition to graphic-novel collections for elementary and middle-school students.         

There are four books in this Norse Myths series.     

Summary: The Norse gods of the heavenly realm of Asgard face their final battle when they have to fight their mortal enemies, the giants of Ragnarok.
