The King sets Hercules seven labours to prove himself brave and strong. Illustrated by Chris Mould. Lime Band 11

Quick Summary

This retelling of the Hercules myth brings ancient Greek heroics to young readers with bold illustrations and a clear, fast-paced structure that keeps pages turning. The Seven Wonders of the Ancient World labors format gives kids a satisfying sense of progression as Hercules battles the Nemean Lion, captures the Golden Hind, and tackles increasingly tricky challenges. If your kid loves the Greek mythology retellings in "The Lightning Thief" but wants something they can finish in one sitting, this delivers the same heroic vibes in a bite-sized package. Perfect for kids in grades K-2 who are ready to move beyond easy readers but want something shorter than a chapter book.
