Will HERCULES discover what makes him special?
Are you ready for the new Hercules adventure from Tom Vaughan & David O'Connell?
Can you imagine being a (secret) demigod? Or having a friend with a pet rock? (Rocky IV actually - you'll learn about the other unfortunate three in the book!)
Do you have a super skill? Maybe everyone does.
When Hercules Braver discovers he is a demigod he's determined to find out about his own super skill. Does he even have one? Herc has a list, some helpful friends & a LOT of determination. He even gets to go on his first ever flight.
Our reading miniClub members will love that this book is in the form of a diary. We all keep a journal. They're all a bit different & the books we read usually get a mention.
All the elements in this book are connected with clever threads of friendship, family life challenges, a great selection of unique characters & a cool angle of history running through everything.
Will this school trip turn into an epic adventure? A trip to Greece - what could go wrong? Well, of course, nothing is going to be predictable or ordinary.
A wild boar even makes an early appearance - it might sound like a crazy-fun recipe for disaster.
With a creative format, illustrations, humour, diagrams & friend introductions at the beginning, this book might feel more approachable & accessible to a wide range of readers.
A heartfelt exploration of friendship, secret struggles and discovering your strengths and talents, even if they're unexpected.
Thank you for having me on this tour!
Kalamata!!!
I am sure our reading miniClub will be adding some copies to the miniLibrary.
Check out the first Hercules book too!
