About This Book
Reach for this book when your middle-grade reader is grappling with the realization that the world is not always fair and that figures of authority can be deeply flawed. As the epic conclusion to the Cronus Chronicles, this story follows cousins Charlotte and Zee as they face the ultimate test of their bravery, standing up not just against monsters, but against the very gods of Olympus to protect humanity. It is an ideal choice for the child who enjoys high-stakes adventure but is also ready to explore deeper questions about justice, accountability, and the courage it takes to fix a broken system. While the plot is steeped in Greek mythology and magical battles, the heart of the story is about the transition from childhood innocence to the responsibility of the teenage years. Parents will appreciate the way it balances witty, fast-paced action with a sophisticated look at what it means to be a hero in a world where the 'good guys' are often indifferent. It is a long, rewarding read that empowers children to believe that their voices and actions can change the course of history.
