Book Summaries:

Here Comes Hercules

Hercules, the bravest of all, is here to make your day brighter! Join Tim as he accidentally breaks his mum's favourite vase and unwittingly unleashes Hercules. Unfortunately, this Greek hero is a letdown and not very helpful, even though he aims to be. It's a race against time to send this dim demigod home before Tim becomes ancient history!

Hera's Terrible Trap

A self-admiring hero gets trapped with Tim and an army of peacocks. Tim thought his adventures were over until he found himself in this pickle, travelling to Ancient Greece via a stolen vase. Put that mirror down, Theseus! Thankfully, Tim's new friend Zoe is there to help; just don't tell her dad!

Arachne's Golden Gloves

Can you bring a statue to life? Tim and Zoe thought they could. Now, they're dealing with flies and spiderwebs. At least the time-travelling vase is in good hands, right? Entrusted to the god of thieves; oh, never mind.

Problems with Pythagoras

Tim is not only failing maths but also banished from Ancient Greece and unsure what to call his mother's boyfriend. How will he navigate these troubles, and what does it take to be a good father, strength or courage? Let's find out, shall we?

Apollo's Mystic Message

Imagine discovering that an artefact you own is now in the British Museum! Tim's ancient oil flask ended there, and Hera might be setting a trap. Who can help Tim look into the future and discover
