Alkyoneus and the Warrior Queen (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781534432949)

Zeus and Hercules face a very hungry giant in this latest Heroes in Training chapter book

Zeus and Hercules may have gotten a scale from the nine-headed hydra, but that isn't enough for King Eurystheus to forgive Hercules for egging his temple. For their next task, the Oracle Pythia reveals that, to make Eurystheus happy, they have to get the golden belt from the queen of the Amazons--a band of warrior girls.

Although the Amazons are friendly enough, there's just one problem...they think that boys are stinky And Hercules hasn't been great at getting people to like him.

But before they even reach the Amazons, they are caught by the awful giant Alkyoneus. He has seven daughters to feed, and the boys would make for a perfect snack. Can Zeus and Hercules escape his clutches and get the belt in time? Or will they end up in hot water?
