A funny, diary-format story inspired by Greek mythology, highly illustrated by David O'Connell and perfect for readers of 8 including fans of Louie Stowell's, Loki. Full of humour and heart, it gently explores father-son relationships and what it really means to be brave, popular or heroic. Hercules Braver is determined to live up to his name! But as he starts secondary school, his bid for popularity ends up saddling him with a set of impossible tasks ... like cleaning out the monster-filled school pond and finding the headmaster's cat. However, when Herc's charming, impressive birth dad turns up after years of living in Greece, Hercules thinks his problems are solved. With God-like strength and startling powers, could his dad even be the real Zeus?! But soon Zeus's magical meddling sends Herc's life into utter mayhem. Battling new and old trials, Hercules discovers true support lies in a less likely place: his 'uncool' stepdad. Perhaps being heroic looks different than he first thought ...
