Gustavas Adolphus Skimmer has always thought of himself as an ordinary guy and he has plenty of evidence. He’s a perpetual third-stringer on every team and though he makes honors grades, he has never made high honors.

Yup, just an ordinary Gus. And then, a week before the start of his senior year he decides to make a change. Because if he is, as his mother says, a descendent of Swedish kings, then he’s also descended from the Norse Gods and someone like that ought to be able to do anything ... with hard work.

He begins with a trip to the gym at the college where his parents teach, determined to improve his basketball skills and that leads to a horrifying discovery in a storage locker in a building near the gym.

Suddenly Gus is up to his ears in a mystery even as he is learning how to fly on the basketball court.
