Description
April and her friends weren't surprised when they found themselves on Mount Olympus, fighting with Zeus against an alien army. But that is nothing compared to what they're about to experience.
Quick Summary
What happens when teenagers suddenly find themselves on Mount Olympus fighting alongside Zeus against an alien army is the kind of wildly creative "wait, what?!" scenario that makes kids immediately want to read the first page. Applegate delivers the ultimate power fantasy where ordinary teens get to team up with actual gods, wield divine lightning, and blast extraterrestrial invaders off the mountain in action scenes that feel like a blockbuster movie on paper. If your kid devours Percy Jackson and the Sea of Monsters the Singer of Apollo's mythology-meets-modern-adventures, this cosmic twist from the creator of Animorphs takes that same winning formula and blasts it into full-on intergalactic territory. With an AR Level of 4.8 and high-interest appeal, this hits the sweet spot for grades 6 through 10.
