What were the Greek gods and goddesses like when they were kids—66 million years ago? We’re about to find out. In this re-imagining of an ancient Greek creation myth, for better or worse, the young Zeus, Hera, Poseidon, Hestia, Demeter and Hades have the superpowers of deities, but not much experience using them wisely. As they learn their craft, the logical Hades struggles to understand the illogical world he inhabits, and Hera and the others seek to protect the innocent and set up a just and compassionate society in their playland, populated with tiny "practice" mortals. Seeking adventure, the cherubs leave Olympus to investigate the dinosaurs, close-up. They also borrow a chariot from Helios, the sun god, and fly to the moon. And finally they jet off on an adventure to Jupiter, where they anger the primordial god Chaos, with astonishing repercussions for Second Earth, and for Earth itself.The imaginative Mighty Gods stories are for kids looking for action, humor, and acts of goodness, with some interesting science thrown into the mix. With plenty of adventure for readers who aren’t yet ready for darker themes of teen alienation and melodrama, these lively stories are great for early, avid readers, and for parents reading to kids whose literary interests are beyond what they can read on their own.
