Hera's Terrible Trap! cover

In this engaging tale, Tim Baker embarks on another wild adventure in Ancient Greece, facing humorous challenges alongside his friend Zoe and the self-absorbed hero, Theseus.

In Hera's Terrible Trap!, readers are swept back into the whimsical world of Greek mythology, where adventure awaits at every turn. Tim Baker thought his escapades had come to an end, but fate has other plans. After hitching a ride on a stolen vase, he finds himself in Ancient Greece, facing an unexpected predicament involving an army of peacocks and a rather self-absorbed hero named Theseus. With a humorous twist, Tim must navigate this chaotic situation, all while trying to avoid the wrath of the gods.

As the story unfolds, Tim's quick thinking and resourcefulness are put to the test. Thankfully, his new friend Zoe is by his side, ready to lend a hand. However, their journey is fraught with challenges, and they must tread carefully to avoid raising the ire of the gods. The playful banter and comedic scenarios create an engaging narrative that captures the essence of what it means to be a hero, even when everything seems hopeless.

Hera's Terrible Trap! is not just a tale of adventure; it also serves as a delightful introduction to Greek mythology for young readers. With a target audience of children aged 7 and up, this book combines humor and excitement while bridging the gap to more advanced literature like the Percy Jackson series. It’s a perfect read for those looking to explore the rich tapestry of Greek myths in a fun and accessible way.
