Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard, Book 2: The Hammer of Thor by Rick Riordan

Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard, Book 2:  The Hammer of Thor by [Riordan, Rick]
I enjoyed this second book in the Gods of Asgard series.  Like Riordan's other books, this one has lots of humor and pop culture references.  He also tries to incorporate a lot of different groups of people.  Sam is Muslim who wears a hijab and prays the required 5 times a day whenever possible and that is explained several times.  Hearthstone is deaf and speaks using American Sign Language, which Riordan makes a point of explaining many times.  Blitzen is gay and Alex is gender fluid. Magnus and his friends are on a quest to find Thor's hammer and keep Sam from being married to a giant and save the world.  There is lots of action and adventure and the story is fun to read.
