Fenris & Mott by Greg Van Eekhout

Mott wanted to rescue a puppy. Turns out, she needs to rescue the world.

Now Mott has to make sure a hungry Fenris — who’s busy munching on lampposts, cars, and water towers — doesn’t see all of California as a appetizer, while also hiding him from the Norse gods who are determined to see the world-ending prophecy come true.

“This book is AWESOME! I like how it combines myth and real life. A girl named Mott finds a puppy named Fenris, and it turns out he’s the moon-eating wolf from Norse mythology. It’s a bit scary at the end, so I recommend this book for ages 8 and up who like mythology.” — Dahlia B, age 8
