Class of the Titans
(2027)(The second book in the Gyro and the Argonauts! series)
A novel by Joshua Pruett
Everyone’s favorite hero named after a sandwich is back—and the stakes (and snakes) have never been higher! From New York Times bestselling author Joshua Pruett (Last Comics on Earth and Phineas and Ferb), this laugh-out-loud, heart-filled adventure is perfect for fans of myths, monsters, and mildly questionable life choices. It’s classic Greek mythology . . . but funnier!
What happens after the heroes save the day? Who moves the defeated villain’s former statue out of the coliseum? Does anyone feed the flying horse? And, seriously, where didPerseus’s magical armor go?
Gyro and his ragtag team of redeemed monsters are about to find out when a new wave of mythological misfits crash the party—and they’re huge fans. Word of Gyro’s monster-saving adventures has spread across ancient Greece, and now everyone wants in. Leading the pack are Medusa’s sisters, Stheno and Euryale, who arrive with enough emotional baggage to sink the Argo, and they have one small request from history’s favorite kid named after a sandwich: give them a shot at redemption.
Then Heracles (Hercules’s cousin, but smells way worse) ropes Gyro into a ‘small’ side quest: one-upping her cousin by completing thirteen Labors instead of twelve. You know, like the twelve impossible Labors that Hercules endured in the ancient history books . . . but one better. Math! Now Greek mythology’s most lovable nerd has to juggle monsters, gods, gorgons, and a zombie Perseus (seriously?) on the ultimate mythological road trip, packed with double the laughs, double the danger, and double the family drama. (Because it is a sequel, after all.)
But when the chaos reaches mythic proportions, Gyro’s about to learn that sometimes the hardest quest of all . . . is asking for help?!
