by Joan Holub (Author) Craig Phillips (Illustrator)
Ares, Zeus, and the other Olympians encounter a huge snake and a sharp challenge in this Heroes in Training adventure. After overcoming many challenges, Zeus and his fellow Olympians arrive at the temple at Delphi--only to find a giant snake guarding the entrance! Beyond the python, Pythia appears.

Gr 2-4--The god of war marches forth in this latest installment of the series about the Olympians (portrayed here as children) and their attempts to escape their vengeful father, Cronus. This time, Ares takes the spotlight as he attempts to rightfully reclaim the spear of fear, a powerful weapon that fell into the wrong hands. This is an irreverent series (which SLJ previously called "a fun read...[for] those still too young for Percy Jackson's adventure"), brimming with action, relatable characters, and hilarious kid-friendly dialogue.
