"An absolute gem!" - Jennifer Saint, Sunday Times bestselling author

â "

From perilous sea voyages and man-eating monsters to powerful witches and vengeful gods, experience the ultimate adventure in this modern retelling of Homer's Odyssey.

Take a journey across the sea and follow the heroic, catastrophic, and sometimes downright gruesome tales of the Greek king Odysseus as he travels home after the Trojan War.

Written by self-proclaimed Greek myth nerd and host of the Let's Talk About Myths, Baby! podcast, Liv Albert, this gripping middle-grade adventure brings the legend of Odysseus to life. It is a story of trickery, lies, and perseverance, where you can watch as Odysseus is tested to the limits by the Cyclops, sirens, and lots of meddling, angry gods.

Dive into a world of myth and monsters to discover:
  • A complex hero: This fresh perspective portrays Odysseus as he really was: a complex man who did many great things... and just as many bad.
  • Packed with facts: Littered with historical facts, maps, and character profiles, Liv brings all of her knowledge to make Greek myths for kids accessible and fun.
  • Striking illustrations: Bold artwork perfectly complements the action-packed narrative, making this thrilling journey the definitive version of The Odyssey for kids.

An essential introduction to ancient Greece for any young reader's library, this epic tale is an exciting gift for fans of ancient history and legends.
