Description

Zeus and the Olympians head to the Peloponnese to save Apollo's twin sister, who's under a sleep spell, in this Heroes in Training adventure.

Zeus and the Olympians are off to find Apollo's twin sister, Artemis, who was captured by the Cronies and separated from her brother. But Titan Crius, who rules the area, has Artemis under a special spell that is making her sleep, which doesn't make a rescue easy!

Can the Olympians manage to sneak away from Crius and his pesky Pandi--warriors with ears that can hear for miles--and save a sleepy Artemis, or are they in for a tough awakening?

Lead by Zeus, the young Olympians continue to battle King Cronus and his Creatures of Chaos. Their quest in this ninth book involves rescuing Artemis, who's being held captive by the Titan Crius. Close calls, fast-paced action, and cliffhanger chapter endings will keep fans engaged, as will the series' lighthearted tone and humor. Occasional black-and-white drawings highlight key moments.
