Step into the timeless epic of Homer's The Odyssey, where
myth and destiny collide. Packaged in a stunning foiled cover.
Follow legendary Odysseus, a king and hero forged in the fires
of the Trojan War, as he embarks on a long and perilous journey
that will push him to his limits.
This is no ordinary voyage, though, as he and his crew find themselves
on islands where mortals were never meant to tread. There
are mythical creatures to battle at every turn – from the
monstrous Cyclops Polyphemus to the spellbinding Sirens who wish
to lure and deceive. And with each storm, sent by vengeful Poseidon,
Odysseus must remember the real reason for this journey: home.
His kingdom of Ithaca is under threat from those who are convinced
their king has been lost in war. His wife, Penelope, and son,
Telemachus, cling to hope, waiting for his return.
Odysseus must rise to reclaim what is his and prove that
no distance and no god can stand between a hero and his destiny.
Kids will love this hilarious fairy tale adventure packed with clever twists, familiar characters and page-turning fun.
