Fleeced!

Book Synopsis

A madcap, modern yet mythological adventure!

Aries, the ghost of the ram of Golden Fleece fame, remains furious at the loss of his beautiful coat – stolen by Jason and the Argonauts centuries ago. Aries is desperate to leave the Greek Underworld so he can find his beloved fleece, and when he gets a chance to return to Earth, he takes his best friend Alex, the Underworld zookeeper, along for the ride.

They soon discover the Golden Fleece is in the clutches of the evil immortal sorceress Medea – now a world-famous fashion designer in London. With the help of Rose, a twelve-year-old human girl, Aries and Alex must save the world from Medea’s wicked plans . . . and save Aries from an eternity of being bald.

Our Review Panel says...

Fleeced is a spirited and witty story that sees characters from classical Greek mythology transported to modern day London. Guaranteed to have your class laughing out loud, this exciting adventure is a great way to engage with Greek myths in a new way and a great springboard for children to write their own present-day mythological stories.
