Long Walk to Valhalla, Hardback Book

Long Walk to Valhalla Hardback

Illustrated by Matthew Fox

Hardback

Description

Can you see the Pretty Things? There are many things that Rory would like to forget about his childhood growing up in rural Arkansas.

He'd like to forget his alcoholic father or absent mother.

He'd like to forget about his ex-girlfriend, now married to his ex-best friend.

Sometimes, he'd even like to forget about his older brother Joe.

Joe saw the world differently than other people--sometimes in beautiful ways, seeing what he always called "the Pretty Things." But sometimes the Pretty Things turned ugly and bad things happened.

Those are the things Rory wishes he could forget most of all.

When his car breaks down on the side of the road just out of town, a young girl named Sylvia appears from the corn fields.

Sylvia is a Valkyrie sent by the Norse god Odin to deliver Rory to Valhalla. Because today is the day he's going to die. Together, Rory and Sylvia walk back through the memories of Rory's childhood, this time seeing them the way Joe saw them.

Rory must face the Pretty Things, the Ugly Things, and all the real life in between before it's time to say goodbye.
