Description:
Best-selling author Rick Riordan presents ten new stories--including one of his own--about beloved heroes that sprang from the imaginations of some of the best middle grade authors working today.
A cave monster . . . an abandoned demon . . . a ghost who wants to erase
history . . . a killer commandant . . . These are just some of the challenges
confronting the young heroes in this highly entertaining anthology.
All but one of the heroes previously starred in a popular book from Rick
Riordan Presents. You''ll be reunited with Aru Shah, Zane Obispo, Min the fox
spirit, Sal and Gabi, Tristan Strong, Nizhoni Begay, Paola Santiago, Sikander
Aziz, and Riley Oh. Who is the new hero? Read Rick Riordan''s short story to
find out!
Ten bestselling and award-winning middle grade authors contributed to this
collection: Roshani Chokshi, J.C. Cervantes, Yoon Ha Lee, Carlos Hernandez,
Kwame Mbalia, Rebecca Roanhorse, Tehlor Kay Mejia, Sarwat Chadda, Graci Kim,
and Rick Riordan, who also served as the editor.
The cultures represented by these own-voices stories are: Indian, Mesoamerican,
Korean, Cuban, Black American, African, Navajo, Mexican, Mesopotamian, and
Celtic.
There’s something for everyone in this collection of fast-paced and funny
adventure stories that show what it takes to be a hero in any time, setting,
and universe.
Each of the ten stories was full of interesting characters who find themselves in some weird and scary situations. They all follow the general hero's quest template and each incorporates mythology as well. Some of the myths were familiar to me and some weren't but I really liked reading each author's reimagining. They were able to intertwine beloved characters and quirky worlds with timeless myths to create something fresh, new, and full of fun. I can't pick a favorite from among them; they each had their own aspects that I loved. I don't read much middle grade fiction but I definitely recommend this book. It's a perfect read for fans of middle grade fiction, fantasy, mythology, children's fiction, young adult fiction, retellings, and readers who are already fans of the Rick Riordan Presents universe.
