Cronus and the Threads of Dread (8) (Heroes in Training)

We've gotten the whole series to date and this one is the least compelling to our kids (aged 8 and 6). Not sure exactly why (our kids aren't the most discerning critics), but I feel like the story is repetitive - too much like the other ones in the series. I realize that the formula for the Heroes in Training series is fairly straight-forward, but this one seems to be missing something (humor? danger?). In any case, still a good series overall for young kids being introduced to Greek mythology.

It's a great book·I didn't like the spiders but the battle of the sky is great·I'm 7 years old and Iiked it·

These books are great for early readers. They are usually only a little over 100 pages. They have a basis in Greek mythology but do create a new storyline. Each book a new hero is added. They are great stories and fun to read. Highly recommend.

My son raced through this series. Loved it. Made him want to know more about the Greek Gods.

This series got our very advanced reading son interested in chapter books. He reads them in a single sitting and can't put them down. He has learned a lot about mythology from them and is no longer intimidated by chapter books!

Purrty good but it was a twist on Greek mythology. That's what I didn't legible it 5 stars!! lol lol

My 8 year old son said that this book was very exciting. It had lots of really cool stuff. Better than some of the others. He read this one in two days!

This series keeps the kids interested.

I've been reading this series with my 10 year old and we both enjoy them.
