Gr 5-9-The action launches with a memorable moment-baby Hercules effortlessly dispatching two deadly snakes in his cradle-and never slows down as the ill-fated hero atones for an impetuous act by attempting 12 seemingly impossible tasks. Starring a multidimensional protagonist, this spellbinding novelization zings with vividly delineated daredevil deeds and lyrical language. Steer fans toward the author's equally scintillating Odysseus (2004), Perseus (2005), and Theseus (2005). Audio version available from Full Cast Audio. (c) Copyright 2011.

The Horn Book ReviewHerculesThe Horn Book(c) Copyright The Horn Book, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc. No redistribution permitted. While these two books don't stick as close to the traditional Greek myths as previous ones in the series, these retellings are nonetheless engaging and well written. McCaughrean's Hercules is a moody, depressed man, prone to violence when he drinks; her Theseus is an adventure-seeker who betrays those who love him to pursue his own glory.
