Greek mythology meets The Secret Life of Pets in this first
adventure in a new middle grade fiction series, starring Zeus, the
mighty hamster, and the crazy crew of critters of the Mount Olympus
Pet Supply Shop. Welcome to the Mount Olympus Pet Supply Shop,
which sits high on a hill in Athens, ... Georgia. The owner, Artie,
has a soft spot for animals that need a forever home and has
rescued a menagerie of creatures, each named after a powerful god
or goddess. But these animals aren't just pets with cool names ...
Zeus is a tiny little hamster with a mighty appetite for power. His
cage sits atop a high shelf so he can watch the other pets from
above. As king of the creatures, he dictates the nightly agenda to
all his animal minions. But the others are getting pretty tired of
answering to the egotistical fluff ball. When Zeus betrays his
friends for his own gain, they turn on this cheeky rodent. Worst of
all, Artie is beginning to notice something is amiss. Can Zeus
repair his friendships and restore order to the pet shop before
their secret is revealed to the world? Get ready to laugh, cheer,
and learn with this adorable and hilarious cast of characters in
their unforgettable first adventure!
In a world where werewolves rule and vampires are just the boy or
girl next door, kids love anything that will scare the pants off
them. But how do you separate fact from fiction? Do haunted houses,
spooky ghosts, and UFOs have a place in history, or is it all just
a bunch of hooey? Crawling with spine-tingly facts, eerie
anecdotes, and fun information, this book is all about everything
creepy, kooky, mysterious, and spooky. It's a perfect book for the
bathroom library or to read by flashlight under the covers. Just
don't tell kids how much real science and history they're actually
learning!

capsized by a slithering sea monster, the duo find themselves
trapped in a mystifying underwater realm. The other Olympians mount
a rescue mission, only to encounter enchanting mermaidlike
creatures with hypnotic songs and a tentacled shape-shifter who
tells tales of the future. His uncanny abilities make the Olympians
question themselves--and each other. Can the god squad stick
together, or will the strange currents of this underwater world
tear them apart? Join Zeus the overconfident hamster, Athena the
wise cat, Ares the treat-loving pug, Poseidon the proud pufferfish,
Demeter the loyal grasshopper, and Hermes the daring chicken on

begins with a challenge: The Trials of Hairy-Clees are only for the
bravest and most awesome gods of all. Who among them will become
the ultimate champion? The pets of Mount Olympus Pet Center are a
true team: They conquer epic quests as easily as Ares the pug
scarfs down Mutt Nuggets and they vanquish enemies who are
pricklier than the spines on Poseidon the pufferfish. But when a
chicken named Hermes shows up one day claiming to be the goddess of
luck, the only fortune she brings is downright disastrous. Before
the team knows it, the Oracle has spoken and the mysterious Trials
of Hairy-Clees begin! Who will become top god? And can Zeus learn
to share the limelight to fight alongside Hermes? Join Zeus the
overconfident hamster, Athena the wise cat, Ares the treat-loving
pug, Poseidon the proud pufferfish, and Demeter the loyal cricket
on another laugh-out-loud adventure through Greek mythology.
