Perfect for fans of Percy Jackson and set in a perilous otherworld populated by figures and monsters from Greek mythology, this exciting middle-grade adventure utilises sibling dynamics to up the stakes in a quest story that delivers any number of surprises.
Sister and brother Netta and Remy Becker have already had encounters with some of the heroes and villains of ancient Greece and now they are back amongst them on a dangerous mission to locate a Titan lost in a world where time is irrelevant and memories at risk. It’s a challenge that requires brains as well as courage and Netta steps up to set and solve those tests so beloved of the ancients, the riddle, while each of them must overcome family rivalries and irritations if they are to succeed, and indeed survive.
As demonstrated in the previous adventure, Jennifer Claessen makes great use of the frame of myths while weaving new stories around well-known characters and this is a constantly surprising adventure, tense but with humour, its cast of allies including the three-headed dog Cerberus and a sphinx.
There are some particularly filmic scenes, which up the excitement and ooh-factor considerable. This will be better if you’ve read the preceding book , but the relevant info is neatly précised at the beginning.
There are some great new myth-inspired stories at the moment, look out for Minotaur Boy by Shane Hegarty which also puts a new spin on a favourite tale
Legend and edge-of-your-seat action fuse together in this exciting second instalment of the Netta Becker trilogy, underpinned with a feminist retelling of Ancient Greek myth.
Read the full description
A hall full of statues. A pair of lost siblings. Monsters at every turn.
Under orders from the Titan called the Crone, Netta steps out of time itself. And, panicking just a little, her little brother Remy follows. Lost and alone, they each wake in a strange maze-like world as statues. Netta breaks free and begins her double quest: to find her brother and the second sister Titan.
But Remy can't remember who he has lost - and when he is rescued by young Tig, he leaves his memories of Netta behind. By breaking sphinx riddles and with mythical beasts as new allies, Netta and Remy must find out who they are - and who the League of Archon is - in the Realm of Memory itself.
