Hercules: A Hero’s Journey (on a School Trip)

The second book in Tom Vaughan’s hilarious, highly illustrated series. 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?
