review 1: For Ten-Year-Old Zeus, life on the Greek island of Crete is megaboring except for stormy days when sizzling lightning bolts hunt him. It has a voice whispers to him said "You are the one." He doesn't know what does it mean. He need to escape those pesky electric shocks. One day, Zeus had kidnapped by three half-giants of the evil King Cronus. After they ship ride, it had constant threats. It had a battle between birds with hair and an entire army of half giants. He grabs the first thing he sees to defend himself with, which turns out to be a thunderbolt pulled from a nearby stone with a mind of its own! With the help of thunderbolt and a talking stone amulet, young Zeus sets off on the adventure of a lifetime: a journey to find his destiny as king of the gods.This is only ... moresynopsis of the book.This book was fun and interesting, it gave information about the gods and the story about the Zeus.
review 2: This was a fun book that gives us a glimpse of the boyhood of the Greek god, Zeus. I realized that I had never I envisioned Zeus as a child. Ten year old Zeus never knew his parents. He lived in a cave with a goat and a nymph, who protected him. Lightning seemed to be attracted to him and struck him often. It was a lightning bolt that saved his life and helped him with the rescue of the Olympians that had been held captive by King Cronus, the king of the Titan giants for over ten years. I believe that third graders will enjoy this story best after they've studied Ancient Greece. less
