Synopsis

The fourth title in Gary Northfield's award-winning, action-packed and hysterically funny series brimming with entertaining Ancient Roman and Greek facts.

In the much-anticipated fourth Julius Zebra book, Grapple with the Greeks!, demi-god Heracles promises Julius and his chums a great reward if they can help him to find the lost Golden Apple. On this madcap new adventure, our unlikely heroes will confront the Minotaur in the labyrinth, trick a one-hundred-headed dragon at the Garden of Hesperides and, after a dramatic visit to King Midas, perform a daring rescue attempt in the depths of the Underworld. But what will the ever-watchful gods on Mount Olympus have to say about their antics? A hugely enjoyable addition to this internationally popular series.

Reviews

Julius Zebra: Grapple with the Greeks! is a really, very entertaining read. Loads of 'laugh out loud' moments! We particularly loved the humour in the Charon / Hades chapters. Crazily illustrated perfectly throughout. This is a fab way to engage with history. It accompanied my lo's Ancient Greece topic brilliantly. This is an awesome series…highly recommended!
