Zeus and the Olympians must deal with monstrous spiders and dangerous webs in this Heroes in Training adventure.
A giant spiderweb in the sky with the words “Surrender Olympians” shows Zeus and his friends that they are in for another battle. Dodging the silky and sticky webs, the Olympians find themselves scattering in all directions to avoid getting caught.
But those dangerous webs actually contain a hidden gem—Athena’s magical object. And the Olympians soon discover that the Threads of Dread might not be as dreadful as they appear…

Not as compelling as the prior books in the series.
By BBD
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.

By Jeremy E.
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!

By Melissa A McKenna
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!
