Synopsis

Leap into the world of Zeus the hamster and his gang of gods as they solve the mystery of the labyrinth in the second book in this hilarious modern-day take on Greek mythology.

Our story begins in the depths of a winding labyrinth, the domain of a fearsome Minotaur who threatens all who live on Mount Olympus. Can Zeus the Mighty save the day?

The critters are back and on the quest of a lifetime! Join Zeus the overconfident hamster, Athena the wise cat, Ares the treat-loving pug, Poseidon the proud pufferfish, and Demeter the loyal cricket in this laugh-out-loud adventure.

Welcome to Mount Olympus, a pet supply and rescue center that sits high atop a hill in Athens, Georgia. By day, the pets there do what all pets do: Chew on a bone or curl up for a catnap. Under the careful watch of their Greek history obsessed caretaker, Artie, the pets listen in to her favorite podcast, Greeking Out, each night. But under the cover of nightfall, Zeus and his cohorts spring free from their cages and pursue quests bestowed upon them by the magical all-knowing Oracle of Wi-Fi. And once again, she has spoken: There's a threat in Mount Olympus Pet Center, and it's going to take guts, smarts, and strength to triumph. Join Zeus and his friends on this rollicking romp through a winding labyrinth (the center's duct system) and Greek mythology.

I’ve been reading these aloud with my 2nd grader and he loves them! (Slight spoilers ahead) This one caused my sensitive reader some turmoil because a newly-introduced character is treated pretty badly through much of the book. It’s resolved in the end, but if you have a reader with a highly-tuned se......more

That ridiculous rodent! T and I have so much fun with Zeus the Mighty and his band of Olympians at the Mount Olympus Pet Center in Athens, Georgia. In The Trials of Hairy-Clees, the animals listen to a podcast about the labors of Heracles (content and back matter are appropriate to young readers). W......more

Poseidon takes the lead as the Olympians battle “The Hydra” a five-headed beast or in this case a fan. With their mojo in sync the Olympians would have never of guessed that a chicken named Hermes could ruin it. The new feathered rescue wanted to join up with the Olympians, but Zeus was hesitant bec......more
