DDC classification: F R4791 2021 CUR Summary: If you could travel to an alternate universe, where would you go?
To a magic bazaar where everyday errands turn into life-threatening quests? A tropical-island cave that may be inhabited by a monster? A space academy where all the systems are mysteriously malfunctioning? Or would you rather meet a sass-talking doll? A chupacabra puppy? A puny demon? Maybe you'd prefer to go to a cursed powwow or a haunted carnival. How about traversing ancient Ireland with a young outlaw?
You can do all of the above by reading the myth-based short stories in this collection. All but one of the heroes has previously starred in a popular own-voices book from Rick Riordan Presents. Who's the new hero? Read Rick Riordan's short story to find out!
Ten best-selling and award-winning middle grade authors, representing various cultures from around the world, contributed to this anthology. There's something for everyone in this treasure chest of fast-paced and funny adventure stories that show what it takes to be a hero in any time, setting, or universe.
