Young Zeus

A mighty tale for every kid who has ever wanted to shout: You are not the boss of me!This is the story of how one little boy, with some help from six monsters, five gods (his squabbling siblings!), an enchanted she-goat, and his mother, became god of gods, master of lightning and thunder, and ruler over all!G. Brian KarasÂ’s playful and irreverent retelling of the myth of Zeus proves that being small (and young) doesnÂ’t mean you canÂ’t be the hero, reign supreme, and have fun.

G. Brian Karas is the prolific and versatile illustrator and writer of many children's books including Atlantic and Saving Sweetness by Diane Stanley, both ALA Notable Books and Home on the Bayou, a Boston Globe/Horn Book Honor title. The New York Times describes his work as "...depicted in a childlike style that belies the sophistication of the drawings. Exquisite and moving in its subtlety." He lives in the Hudson Valley of New York with his family. Visit him a gbriankaras.com.
