Bookroo's summary

Odysseus battles mythical creatures and divine forces on his epic quest to return home after the Trojan War. From the man-eating Cyclops to the sorceress Circe and the vengeful sea god Poseidon, each challenge tests his resolve. Will he ever see his homeland again, or will the gods' wrath seal his fate? Dive into a world of adventure and intrigue as Odysseus navigates treacherous waters and cunning foes.

From the publisher

Homers epic tale of the warrior Odysseuss decades-long struggle to return home after the Trojan War is simply and beautifully retold, with all the drama intact. Young readers will thrill at Odysseuss adventures with the man-eating Cyclops; the enchantress Circe, who turns his crew into pigs; and the angry sea god Poseidon.
