The Odyssey - Paperback
by Homer (Author), Geraldine McCaughrean (Retold by)
Embark on one of the greatest adventures ever told, the epic journey of Odysseus, hero of Ancient Greece. . .
After ten years of war, Odysseus turns his back on Troy and sets sail for home. But his voyage takes another ten years and he must face many dangers--Polyphemus the greedy one-eyed giant, Scylla the six-headed sea monster and even the wrath of the gods themselves--before he is reunited with his wife and son. Brilliantly retold by award-winning author, Geraldine McCaughrean, this accessible adaptation brings Homer's timeless tale to life with clear, engaging language and fast-paced storytelling.Author Biography
