Ten-year-old Zeus is mystified (and super-annoyed) by the fact

also longs for adventure, as he has never been far from the cave
where he grew up.
Zeus gets his wish--and a lot more than he bargained for--when he
is kidnapped by dangerous, giant Titans In self-defense, Zeus grabs
the first thing he sees--an actual thunderbolt he pulls from a
stone that is covered in mysterious markings. Zeus is the only one

his fellow Olympians from the evil Cronus. Armed with his trusty
thunderbolt (named Bolt, of course), Zeus is on an adventure of a
lifetime--and a journey to fulfill his destiny as King of the Gods.
