Zeus and his friends are back for another adventure in this latest
Heroes in Training chapter book! Since defeating the Titans, Zeus
and his fellow Olympians have taken over Mount Olympus. Things are
nearly back to normal...until a stranger named Hercules shows up,
asking for help. He's on the run from Eurythseus, King of Argon,
who is after Hercules for egging his temple. Before Zeus can help,
Eurythseus himself appears. It turns out that Hercules has also
been bragging that he is the ruler of Olympus, and Eurythseus
intends to declare war on the Olympians' new home. Zeus's friends
come up with an idea--maybe Hercules could make up for egging
Eurythseus's temple. The Oracle Pythia reveals that in order to do

serpent--the Hydra. Will this be enough to please Eurythseus? Or is
another battle on the horizon for the Olympians?

putting her matchmaking skills to the test

Hero-logy. To raise her grade, she concocts a brilliant plan: an
extra credit project for matchmaking mortals called the Lonely
Hearts Club.
This takes her to Egypt and face-to-face with fierce competition--a
goddess named Isis. Now a race is on to see who can find a perfect
match for the most annoying mortal boy ever
After pulling a magical thunderbolt from a stone, ten-year-old Zeus
goes on the adventure of a lifetime in this first graphic novel
adapted from the popular Heroes in Training series! The terrible
Titans--merciless giants who enjoy snacking on humans--have
dominated the earth and driven the world into chaos. But their rule
is about to be put to the test as a group of young Olympians
discover their powers and prepare to righteously rule the
universe... Ten-year-old Zeus is mystified (and super-annoyed) by
the fact that he keeps getting hit by lightning. Every. Single.
Year. Still, it's by far the most interesting thing that happens to
him. He's never been far from the cave where he grew up and is
beginning to think he'll never have a real adventure. But Zeus gets
his wish--and a lot more than he bargained for--when he is
kidnapped by dangerous, giant Titans! In a scramble for a weapon to
defend himself, Zeus grabs an actual thunderbolt from a stone. Its
incredible power keeps the Titans at bay, and its mysterious
markings lead Zeus on a quest to rescue 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.

tale of love and lyres
Orpheus is a mortal rock god, and the girls at Mount Olympus
Academy are wild about him With his lyre and singing voice, Orpheus
can charm pretty much anything--even things like stones and trees.

His fans are especially excited about his latest song about the
girl he loved and lost, Eurydice. Orpheus was devastated when he
lost Eurydice to the Underworld, so he asks Persephone to help get
her back. Though it means breaking some very serious Underworld
rules, Persephone pushes Hades to return Eurydice to the living
world. But restoring Orpheus's one true love might jeopardize
Persephone's own chances with her biggest crush...
