Description

Zeus and the Olympians must deal with monstrous spiders and dangerous webs in this Heroes in Training adventure.

A giant spiderweb in the sky with the words "Surrender Olympians" shows Zeus and his friends that they are in for another battle. Dodging the silky and sticky webs, the Olympians find themselves scattering in all directions to avoid getting caught.

But those dangerous webs actually contain a hidden gem--Athena's magical object. And the Olympians soon discover that the Threads of Dread might not be as dreadful as they appear...

This eighth book continues the adventures of the young Olympians, who are battling King Cronus and his Creatures of Chaos to fulfill their destinies. Here they contend with terrifying giant spiders and a huge web in the sky. This installment maintains the series' lighthearted tone and humor; occasional black-and-white drawings contribute a classical vibe.
