Chapter book

A boy is reunited with his long-lost father, the Greek god Pan, only to find himself taken to the kingdom of the gods.

What begins as just another ordinary day for Demon ends up being far from normal . . . because travelling on a rainbow to Mount Olympus is a bit odd for anyone, even if your dad is the Greek god Pan! When he arrives, Demon is in for a shock. The stables are full of mythical beasts like the flatulent Cattle of the Sun and a very grumpy Griffin. All Demon’s animal husbandry skills, polished on his mother’s farm on Earth, are going to be put to a rather exacting test as he tries to sort out the chaos and deal with the upset and concern of the gods. Can the stableboy help the Nemean lion that Heracles has hurt, and avoid incurring Hera’s wrath if he can’t heal her pet Hydra . . .

The first in a delightful action-packed series, acclaimed writer Lucy Coats uses her original and funny voice to bring to life the gods, goddesses and mythical beasts of the ancient Greek pantheon.

Chapter book

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.
