Flight of the Fire Thief

 

The Flight of the Fire Thief by Terry Deary is the extremely humorous yet soberly serious sequel to the Fire Thief as Prometheus, now known to the gods of Mount Olympus the infamous Fire Thief, is on the run from the vengeful Avenger for giving fire to the humans. Prometheus struck a deal with Zeus: If Theus can find one true human hero; he will suspend Theus’ punishment for eternity. If not, Theus will be destroyed. In this exciting adventure, the story all boils down to one question: Who is the human hero depicted in the Temple of the Hero at Eden City?

My favorite part of the book was the funny footnotes and head notes that the author puts in to make this otherwise serious book a little more humorous. The book is written in the form of diary by Helen, a girl who helps Theus in his time at Eden City.

Terry Deary was born on 4^th March 1646 and he quotes “the schools I went 

to never taught me essential life skills such as parenting and money managing. I’ve never used Boyles Law or Trigonometry in my life so why teach it to me? Schools should change.”

 This is a very good book, and if you are interested in Greek mythology and that sort of thing, this is a good series.
