Become the super-powered hero Hercules, and make choices to survive one of Greek Mythology's most famous stories in this Choose Your Path adventure.

You are Hercules, a superhero from Greek Mythology. You've made a dangerous enemy: the goddess Hera. She's out to destroy you, and the only way to save yourself is by completing 12 perilous labours. Defeat an invincible lion, slay the many-headed Hydra, battle a six-armed giant, and more. Every moment, your life is at risk. You'll need courage and super-strength to survive such perils as a monstrous dog, a flock of deadly birds, and a troop of Amazon warriors.

Written by acclaimed author Brandon Terrell with chapter illustrations by Kat Baumann, Can You Survive the Twelve Labors of Hercules? adapts the classic myth into a Choose Your Path book for kids. The survival story puts readers in control of the action. Do you have the cunning to succeed? Or will your clashes with mythical creatures lead to your doom? Step into this adventure, and choose your path. But choose wisely, or else!

About the Author

When Brandon Terrell was a boy, he was tall and skinny and looked nothing like Hercules. But he was a big fan of comic books and superheroes. Hercules was always at the top of that list right next to Spider-Man, of course. Brandon never faced serpents with a hundred heads or had the proportionate strength of a spider. He did, however, enjoy writing stories about amazing heroes and incredible adventures. He was the author of numerous books, including chapter books, picture books, and graphic novels. Brandon lived in Minnesota's Twin Cities with his family.
