Angol
One war. Twenty years. One impossible way home.
Odysseus survived ten years of brutal war - and then spent ten MORE years fighting monsters, gods, and his own bad decisions just to get back to his family. A one-eyed cannibal giant. A witch who turns his crew into pigs. A goddess who literally won't let him leave her island. And back home? A hundred guys have moved into his house, eating everything he owns, while his wife and teenage son try to hold on and his kingdom falls apart.
ODYSSEUS: LOST AT SEA is a fast, punchy, modern retelling of one of the greatest adventure stories ever told - Homer's Odyssey - written for teen and YA readers who want gods, monsters, and a genuinely epic journey without wading through 3,000-year-old language to get there.
WHAT'S INSIDE:
- A complete YA retelling of Odysseus's twenty-year journey home, from the fall of Troy to the final showdown in his own hall
- Twelve fast-moving chapters covering the Cyclops, the witch Circe, the Sirens, the underworld, and more
- A teen hero's journey running in parallel: Telemachus, who's never met his father, forced to grow up fast
- A "Who's Who" character guide so you never lose track of gods, monsters, and suitors

PERFECT FOR:
Teen and YA readers who love mythology, adventure, and stories about impossible journeys. Fans of fast-paced fantasy retellings who want the original myth that inspired half of them. Middle school and high school classrooms studying Greek mythology or the Odyssey. A great gift for any teen reader who says they "don't like the classics" - this one might change their mind.
