Synopsis

The Argonauts are the greatest heroes in Greek mythology—brave, forthright, and selfless! Or ARE they? Dive into this funny, action-packed adventure and discover the real heroes: the monsters. From Joshua Pruett, Emmy Award-winning writer on Disney’s Phineas and Ferb and coauthor of the New York Times bestselling The Last Comics on Earth comes Gyro and the Argonauts! AKA The Best Book Ever Written* *About a Kid Named After a Sandwich.​

WARNING! The audiobook you’re about to listen to is SO SILLY it’s DANGEROUS.

Hear the totally (mostly) true story of the first “Greek Geek,” a super fanboy vineyard grape-squisher named Gyro (like the sandwich), who learns there's so much more to the maligned monsters of mythology (such as the CYCLOPS, the MINOTAUR, and even MEDUSA herself), and so much less to his favorite heroes when he joins the crew of the intrepid Argonauts (think: The Avengers, if the Avengers were all buttheads).

All this PLUS: SPECIAL GUEST STARS! This audiobook features the vocal talents of narrators Joe Sanfelippo, Fayna Sanchez as Medusa, and Gail Shalan as Heracles, and music by Ryan Demaree, making this a hilarious and heartwarming listen you can’t miss!

Where The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy meets Clash of the Titans, and probably in between some slices of pita, you’ll find Gyro and the Argonauts!

This audiobook comes with a BONUS CHAPTER — a mini-album of all the full songs featured throughout the book, for your listening pleasure.

“With big laughs, big heart, and big monsters, Gyro and the Argonauts is timeless fun for everyone!” – Max Brallier, sandwich expert and author of the #1 New York Times bestselling series The Last Kids on Earth

“Gyro and the Argonauts is a hilarious, adventurous, and nail-biting twist on Greek mythology tropes with a well-developed cast of zany characters ... Gyro is the new hero we all need: courageous, monster friending, and true to himself.” – Demetra Brodsky, award-nominated author of Last Girls and Dive Smack (and actual Greek)

Goodreads review by Demetra on October 17, 2024

Incredible. I had the privilege of reading an early copy. Gyro and the Argonauts is a hilarious, adventurous, and nail-biting twist on Greek Mythology tropes with a well-developed cast of zany characters. A zero to hero story that will keep you obsessively turning pages. Gyro is the new hero we all......more

Goodreads review by Jeremy on June 29, 2025

This book claims to be "The best book ever written*" (*About a kid named after a sandwich). I'd say that's a safe assertion, though it could easily call itself a very good book by many other measures. This book is written for middle-grade readers, though I'd recommend parents take the opportunity to......more

I was lucky enough to snag an early copy and found this book to be a delight! As someone who spent long summers in Greece with family as a kid, I read a LOT of takes on Greek mythology (pretty much the only English-language books available in the small village town were translated myths). This was a......more
