Crown of Zeus

- Reading
- Try reading the opening together, then invite your child to follow the poem and clues; pause to check in if the school rejection or survival stakes feel intense.
- Themes
- A clue-led fantasy adventure: A poem, key and diary lead the girls towards a secret linked with the Parthenon and into one man's version of Ancient Greece. The premise presents the fantasy journey as a puzzle to solve, with clues directing the girls towards a way home.
- Worth knowing
- Megan feels lonely and unwelcome at her new school; the adventure also raises the possibility of being eaten by a Minotaur and says the girls must survive.
