Hercules: A Hero’s Journey is a chaotic, laugh-out-loud adventure! Written in the diary style kids love, this delightfully illustrated story will have them hooked from start to finish.
In the first book, Hercules: the Diary or a (Sort of) Hero, 11-year-old Hercules Braver learns he is a demigod – a child of Zeus. Everyone knows demigods all have some sort of super skill: Perseus was a Gorgon slayer while Theseus defeated a Minotaur. Hercules is determined to discover his own superpower.
When his class wins a trip to Greece, his dreams come true. This is his chance to put himself to the test and embark on an epic voyage – just like those in ancient days. In reality, Hercules ends up in a lot of trouble and realises he might be the most average demigod ever. But when it comes right down to it, Hercules finds he actually has more power than he ever imagined. He’ll do anything for those he loves and is a true hero.
Tom Vaughn has created a hero readers can really get behind. They’ll identify with his sense of ordinary, his loyalty to his friends and his turbulent relationship with his family. They’ll all agree that love, laughter and friendship are what really matter.
