10 Second Review
A middle school boy discovers his missing father is more mysterious then he imagined. His father has also made some powerful enemies, which are now targeting the son.

A fun, exciting adventure that borrows heavily from Greek mythology. Good for those that enjoyed the Harry Potter series.

Notes
Some surprising and clever elements.

Learning CurveLow but some readers might be turned off by the mythological references.
