Zeus and the Thunderbolt of Doom (Heroes in Training)
by Joan Holub and Suzanne Williams
illustrated by Craig Phillips
Hidden since birth, young Zeus is unaware of who is parents are. After first being kidnapped by a group of giants, and then snatched by a flock of Harpies, the ten-year-old find himself brought to Greece where he eventually faces Cronus, the King of the Titans. Along the way, Zeus begins to realize that he may have some unique powers and, as he faces Cronus, he must use his powers to rescue others before he meets the same fate they did!
This series, which follows the lives of the Greek Gods and Goddesses as children, is a great choice for readers who enjoy mythology. The books are relatively short (around a hundred pages), fast paced, and full of a lot of adventure, as well as many amusing moments!
