A book of Greek myths with a twist! Readers step into the shoes of a legendary hero to solve mazes, crack codes and untangle the riddles that bring lavishly illustrated retellings of classic tales to life.

Readers take on their very own quest through the myths of ancient Greece to become a Puzzle Hero.

By navigating mazes and labyrinths, cracking codes and solving riddles, they will guide Persephone out of the underworld so Spring can begin, join Jason and the Argonauts on their quest for the golden fleece and help Perseus avoid the terrifying gaze of the snake-haired gorgon Medusa, and much more.

Every spread features a Greek myth retold in snappy, relatable style by Catherine Ard, alongside a beautifully illustrated puzzle crafted by Maria Surducan, each written and designed to make readers feel like they are part of the story.

This innovative take on familiar and timeless tales is sure to engage and enthuse any reader, making this book the perfect read for puzzle-lovers, a brilliant introduction to mythology for newcomers and a fresh new angle for kids who already love these classic stories.

This book is the first in a series that will cover myths from all over the world, including Egyptian and Norse.
