This illustrated chapter book series set in Ancient Greece is perfect for young readers interested in mythical creatures and thrilling adventure stories! Eleven–year–old Pandemonius—known as Demon—has been plucked from his quiet, normal life in a small Greek village to become the Beast Keeper for the Stables of the Gods on Olympus. The job, however, soon becomes much more than scooping up after the beasts. The warrior-hero Heracles has been causing havoc among the immortal creatures, and it’s up to Demon to save them.
