Average rating
A boy is reunited with his long-lost father, the Greek god Pan, only to find himself taken to the kingdom of the gods.
What begins as just another ordinary day for Demon ends up being far from normal . . . because travelling on a rainbow to Mount Olympus is a bit odd for anyone, even if your dad is the Greek god Pan! When he arrives, Demon is in for a shock. The stables are full of mythical beasts like the flatulent Cattle of the Sun and a very grumpy Griffin. All Demon’s animal husbandry skills, polished on his mother’s farm on Earth, are going to be put to a rather exacting test as he tries to sort out the chaos and deal with the upset and concern of the gods. Can the stableboy help the Nemean lion that Heracles has hurt, and avoid incurring Hera’s wrath if he can’t heal her pet Hydra . . .
The first in a delightful action-packed series, acclaimed writer Lucy Coats uses her original and funny voice to bring to life the gods, goddesses and mythical beasts of the ancient Greek pantheon.
Reviews
I liked this book because I enjoy Roman and Greek mythology. My favourite characters were Offy and Yukus because they have a good sense of humour.

I enjoyed this book but I found it a bit confusing. I will definitely read this series again when I am a bit older.

Fantastic book for teaching my topic of Ancient Greek Gods. A funny twist with lots of great vocabulary. Links to PSHCE, Demon being away from his mother and having an absent father turn up out of the blue. While forming the most unlikely friendships, against all the odds, Demon is able to become a successful beast keeper.

Prince Poseidon Rubber-duck 29.07.2019
It is about a boy. He is half god half human. This book is good because he rides on loads of cool animals.The book was quite silly because he didn't know how to treat animals.
