Middle School meets Percy Jackson in this new offering from #1 New York Times bestselling author James Patterson, where Greek gods task an ordinary twelve-year-old with a big mission.
Nick Andino isn’ t exactly “ hero” material. He’ s perfectly happy working at his family’ s Greek diner, pining over his crush, and avoiding his bully. His life isn’ t very exciting… until destiny comes calling.
Dr. Zeus, the over-the-top king of the gods, zooms into town with a quest that Nick must complete to save Andinos past and present from being erased from history. Accompanied by a fast-talking Hermes, Nick journeys back to ancient Greece, where his ancestors await— along with new friends and a whole host of Greek gods and monsters. Can Nick be the hero the Andinos need, or will his story be another Greek tragedy?
This fast-paced, feel-good adventure from the world’ s favorite storyteller has black-and-white illustrations throughout, and amphitheaters full of humor and heart.
