Cronus and the Threads of Dread

Heroes in Training #8

by Joan Holub, Suzanne Williams, Craig Phillips (Illustrator)

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…

A review from my 8 year old son:
It was pretty cool and my favorite part was when Athena turned the huge spider into stone with her cool shield!
I also liked when they defeated all the Cronies.
I mostly like the book for the action and I would recommend it for all my friends and anyone who likes adventure stories!

Ryan can't get enough of this series! He laughs out loud and talks about the characters (Olympians...Greek mythology...all stuff I've always avoided!) beyond reading time - and they keep my interest, too. I'm having so much fun sharing this with him.

I read these to my son. You can finish them in 3-4 bed times. He was about 4-5 at the time and liked them.

The 7-year-old read this one to me. He really enjoys the "Heroes in Training" series. He's looking forward to Crius and the Night of Fright due to release April '15.

the book was really scary was when there were so many spiders crawling around the forest that was the scariest because i do not like spiders.
