Description
The fourth book in an exciting middle grade series that features the adventures of Disney’s most lovable roguish heroes as kids!
Before he saved Mount Olympus...Hercules was just a boy trying to find his way. “How am I supposed to prove myself a hero if no one will give me a chance?"
Twelve-year-old Hercules doesn’t fit in. He’s awkward and clumsy, and his excessive strength tends to be more hurtful than it is helpful. But Herc believes that if he were just given the chance to prove himself, he could show everyone that he really does belong. Of course, Hercules never expected his chance to come by way of an angry god.
One night, a prized olive grove is ruined and the god Nike appears, looking for a culprit. Hercules’s neighbors are quick to accuse him until an older boy named Theseus steps in and defends Hercules. Because of their actions, Nike tasks Theseus and Hercules to go to Athens and retrieve an olive seed and the Cretan bull as a way to appease the god and make up for the destruction. The two set off and soon encounter giants, robbers, and monsters who try to stop them. Hercules is glad to have Theseus by his side, but he can’t help but wonder—is Theseus on this quest out of the goodness of his heart? Or does he also have something to prove?
Filled with impressive feats and inspiring friendship, the Lost Legends series explores the untold origins of Disney’s most infamous rogue boys.
About the Author
Hi Goodreads!I'm Jen Calonita, a MG and YA author who loves what I do because it lets me connect with all of you (and no, I wasn't intending for that to rhyme!).I've been writing ever since I can remember, but it was fourth grade when I put my "three wishes" for a genie down on paper. They were:#1. Buy all the Cabbage Patch Kids in the world and give them away for free (because apparently that was how I rolled).#2. I wanted a mansion, limo, lake house, pool and speed boat (still sounds quite nice).#3. I wanted to be an author for young readers, which I am!I love writing novels for teens (and for savvy grown ups who know that YA rocks at any age). My first series was "Secrets of My Hollywood Life" and it followed a teen star named Kaitlin Burke who struggled with the fame game. I have also written the stand-alone novels Sleepaway Girls, it's companion book, Summer State of Mind and the Belles series.I've been writing middle grade too and am having so much fun with my series Fairy Tale Reform School! The fourth book in this series about a school run by former villains is called Tricked and will be out March 2018. Ever wonder what it would be like if your parents got a job with someone like Taylpr Swift? My other middle grade series, VIP, follows super fan Mackenzie Lowell as she tours with her favorite band, Perfect Storm.I promise to give book updates here, and on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, or my website. I hope I hear from you!xoJen
