Eight Days of Luke [Paperback] Jones, Diana Wynne

**Eight Days of Luke by Diana Wynne Jones - Preloved Paperback**

When David's stuck with horrible relatives for the holidays, accidentally summoning a mysterious boy named Luke seems like brilliant luck. Except Luke might actually be Loki, the Norse trickster god, and suddenly David's boring summer involves ancient magic, divine feuds, and gods masquerading as ordinary people.

This clever fantasy from Diana Wynne Jones (the genius behind Howl's Moving Castle) weaves Norse mythology into modern Britain with her trademark wit and imagination. Perfect for kids aged 9-13 who love mythology, magic, and protagonists who aren't insufferably perfect. Jones masterfully explores themes of belonging, family, and finding your place in the world—without being preachy about it.

A brilliant gateway into fantasy literature that doesn't talk down to young readers. This preloved copy from Patina Paperbacks is ready for its next adventure.
