In this excerpt from Rick Riordan's "The Sword of Summer," the characters engage in a humorous conversation about the names of the days of the week. It highlights a playful confusion between the characters, as they reference Norse mythology by using names like Thor's Day and Woden's Day instead of the conventional Thursday and Wednesday.

This dialogue emphasizes the blending of modern language with ancient mythological references, creating an amusing dynamic. The characters discuss an important event—the rising of the island on the full moon—adding a sense of urgency and mystery to their banter about the days of the week.
