A young Poseidon must triumph over aquatic terrors in this Heroes in Training adventure. The merciless Cronus and his Titan buddies are in hot pursuit of Zeus, Hera, and Poseidon, who plan to travel across the treacherous boiling sea in order to save a fellow Olympian. They have a boat, but they also have a problem: Poseidon can't swim and is terrified of the water (well, really of the creatures that lurk in its depths). The group faces danger after danger as they battle singing sirens, a fishy and ferocious Titan named Oceanus, and people-eating monsters sent by Cronus himself. Can Poseidon overcome his fears and help his fellow heroes escape Cronus and his cronies?
The Heroes in Training are entering the Underworld-if Hades can conquer his canine fears, that is. The Underworld usually isn't really meant to be a fun place-but tell that to Hades! He loves the dark and the stinky smell of sulfur. However, there is one thing that Hades is not a fan of: dogs. And when Zeus and his fellow Olympians encounter Cerberus-a snarling, three-headed dog-Hades must conquer his fears and tame the hound so everyone can continue into the Underworld and deposit their Titan prisoner, Oceanus, back where he belongs! But with magical water that causes forgetfulness, hot beds of lava, and another epic battle with two more Titans standing in their way, will Zeus and his heroes make it out of the Underworld with everyone intact?

A Newbery Honor Book.
Greta had always loved the fog-the soft gray mist that rolled in from the sea and drifted over the village. The fog seemed to have a secret to tell her. Then one day when Greta was walking in the woods and the mist was closing in, she saw the dark outline of a stone house against the spruce trees-a house where only an old cellar hole should have been. Then she saw a surrey come by, carrying a lady dressed in plum-colored silk. The woman beckoned for Greta to join her, and soon Greta found herself launched on an adventure that would take her back to a past that existed only through the magic of the fog.
Tania es pelirroja y tiene los rizos de un león. Se apellida Val de Lumbre como el lugar en el que vive, un pequeño y remoto valle. Las dos cosas que más le gusta hacer son, por este orden: deslizarse en trineo por Cerro Chico, la pendiente más empinada de la montaña al grito de 'velocidad y autoestima'. Intentando hacer un salto mortal con los esquís aunque a veces acabe en el rosal de Sally. Y enfadando al malvado Klaus Hagen que odia los niños. Y, lo segundo que más le gusta es estar con su adorado Gunnvald, que aunque tiene setenta y cuatro años es su mejor amigo. La verdad es que el pueblo no hay mucho niños, pero aunque los hubiera él seguiría siendo su preferido. Cuando Gunnvald tiene que ir al hospital, a Tania le van a ocurrir muchas cosas algunas divertidas y otras no tanto. ¿No te las querrás perder?
