Odysseus is thirteen years old. The son of a king on a small island in the Bronze Age Aegean, he has the gift of seeing what others miss - and the courage to act on it.
When a Phoenician ship arrives carrying a boy who has been kidnapped into slavery, Odysseus recognizes the truth no one else will acknowledge. To save him, he must journey across dangerous waters to the mainland, climb a sacred mountain where a supernatural boar stands guard, face magic and trickery in his grandfather's estate, and ultimately confront a conspiracy that reaches into his father's own household.
What begins as one boy's act of conscience becomes an adventure that will shape the man he is destined to become. Fast-paced and grounded in the actual Bronze Age world, Young Odysseus is packed with danger, monsters, magic, and the kind of impossible choices that forge heroes.
This is the story of how Odysseus became the man who would sail for Troy. This is the beginning of the greatest adventure story ever told.
For readers 12 and up who love fast-paced adventure, mythology, monsters, and stories about ordinary people doing extraordinary things.
