Need an engaging, compelling novel to help pass the time on a plane trip, or to take on vacation? The Adventurers Guild is a quick and fun read for fantasy lovers, and even for those who think they may not enjoy the fantasy genre! The plot follows best friends Zed and Brock at the moment of adolescence, as they expect to do one thing and then are forced to do another, becoming members of the very dangerous Adventurers Guild.

Magnus Chase and the Ship of the Dead is a thrilling and funny fiction novel by Rick Riordan. This book is about a guy named Magnus Chase.  He and his friends travel across the nine worlds in search of a way for them to defeat Loki and return him to his chains and delay Ragnarok at the same time. I love the way the author makes the most serious moments really funny and exciting. The sarcasm in this book is so funny and original, I couldn’t stop laughing!
