Gr 2-4--In this collection of stories, readers meet Theseus, Perseus, and Hercules--though not the figures from Greek mythology. These three characters are the super strong, super fast ThunderTrucks! Each of their stories are told in this boldly illustrated short chapter book. The trucks are the action-packed personification of their Greek inspirations. Each truck goes through a series of obstacles to gain the coveted title of ThunderTruck, while also standing up to bullies and helping others in trouble. Readers familiar with the Greek myths will discover some similarities between the source material and the ThunderTruck characters. Strong anti-bullying messages and lessons about humility and hard work are effortlessly woven into the fast-paced tales. The large typeface is interspersed with several keywords in an oversized font. Cartoon illustrations will grab readers' attention. VERDICT A high-octane page-turner for young mythology lovers and monster truck fans.--Emily Beasley, Omaha Public Schools
