<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Phoebe Katz is back on a new mission to save Olympus--this time to undo the fallout from her last visit, which changed the outcomes of several important myths, including the trials of Hercules and her brother Perseus's quest to slay Medusa. Can Phoebe collect the items she needs to stop Olympus from crumbling?<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Phoebe Katz is back on a new mission to save Olympus and undo the fallout from her first visit. Damian has troubling news--the epic mythology stories in the books are changing. Instead of Perseus slaying Medusa and becoming a hero, the books now say he's turned to stone. Worse, thanks to Phoebe slaying the Nemean lion and the Lernean hydra to complete the Eye of Zeus, Hercules failed his first two trials--which means he's not the immortal hero he's supposed to be. <p/> After speaking with the oracle who brought her to New York, Phoebe learns that without great heroes, the entire fabric of Greek mythology is in peril. She must go back to Olympus and right the history she wrecked. To do that, she must embark on a quest to collect the items she will need to help Perseus defeat Medusa, including the curved blade the Argus Slayer, the winged shoes of Hermes, and Hades's Helmet of Invisibility, and convince Hercules to complete his new trials without giving up--despite the efforts of a powerful force that will stop at nothing to see the demi-god children of Zeus destroyed. Can Phoebe collect the items she needs and save Olympus once again?<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"A recommended purchase, especially for libraries that already own the first title or where Greek mythology is popular."<br> --<i>School Library Journal</i> <p/> "An adventurous page turner."<br> --<i>Kirkus Reviews</i> <p/> "...a magnificent book with an exceptional and imaginative storyline that will keep you turning the page."<br> --Kids Book Buzz <p/> <b>Praise for the series <i>The Eye of Zeus</i>: </b> <p/> "With twists, loyalty between friends, and its cast's cleverness, the middle grade fantasy The Eye of Zeus hits all the right notes."<br> --<i>Foreword Reviews</i> <p/> "This charming and brilliant novel is superbly plotted and will win over readers . . .
