Hercules: A Hero's Journey (on a School Trip) Tom Vaughan 9780702324628

Hercules Braver has a secret: he's a real-life demigod! So, why does he seem so... ordinary? Most children of Zeus have some kind of superskill - like bravery, warrior skills or healing powers. Well, thanks to a wild boar (long story), Herc and his friends are off on a school trip to Greece. He's bound to discover his gift there - and even meet more of the gods! But after ending up neck-deep in horse poo, almost falling down a mountain and facing a fierce flock of ravens, this trip feels more like an epic voyage... What's really going on with the mysterious gods, Athena, Apollo and Ares? And will Hercules discover what makes him special? Following up on Hercules: the Diary of a (Sort of) Hero, this is a hilarious, accessible package brilliantly illustrated by David O'Connell. Ideal for fans of Louie Stowell's Loki, Maz Evans, Marvel's Thor films and Disney's Hercules. Hercules Braver's adventures in this book are loosely based on the next three Labours of Hercules, ideal for all young fans of Greek mythology! Heartfelt exploration of friendship, secret struggles and discovering your strengths and talents, even if they're unexpected. Praise for the first Hercules book "With a generous smattering of Greek mythology, this laugh-out-loud tale explores the nature of friendship, love and loyalty with a perfect mix of humour and tenderness." BookTrust "A brilliant, accessible and VERY funny book" - Jen Carney, author of The Accidental Diary of B.U.G.
