Bookroo's summary

Edda, a young Valkyrie from Asgard, yearns for friendship her own age. Her journey leads her to Earth, where school presents a world unlike her magical home. Initially uncertain, Edda musters her Valkyrie bravery to navigate this new environment. As she embraces her uniqueness, she discovers that being different is her true strength, opening the door to new friendships. Will Edda find her place in this strange land?

From the publisher

Edda is a Valkyrie (an ancient Norse goddess who guides and protects heroes). She lives in a magical land called Asgard where she has everything she wants. Well . . . almost everything. Edda wants to find a friend her own age. Edda’s wise papa knows of a place where she can make friends: a place on Earth called school. School is very different from Asgard. Edda’s not sure if she likes it at first. But then she remembers that Valkyries are very brave. Even little Valkyries. Edda learns that being different is what makes her special and she begins to make new friends. A Christy Ottaviano Book
