I enjoyed listening to this book on CD as I worked around the house. It is a fun combination of contemporary characters mixed in with Greek mythology. It took me a while to finish it because it was a little too scary for my kids to listen as they had dreams about minotaurs after one cd, so I had to listen at night. A great book for upper-elementary age boys!

My husband is reading these out loud to our kids, ages 10 and 8, and has been able to "edit" some of the content. ...more
