A retelling of Homer's "Odyssey", the story of a clever but unlucky Greek hero who just wants to get home. but fate has other ideas. It is aimed at fully confident readers who can manage sub-plots and complex sentence structure but don't have the stamina for standard-length books.

Odysseus is finally heading home after a long war, but his troubles have just begun. Terrible dangers are in store, from one-eyed monsters to cannibal kings.
