Unbelievable FIB series.
In this second installment, junior Fantasy Investigation Bureau members Pru and ABE must determine if, as Odin claims, Loki killed Baldur--an event that would start Ragnarok. Tackling problems in the mythical world gives ABE strategies for addressing real-world issues with his dad and teachers. Personal loss and growth provide solid themes, grounding the fantastical elements.
