Synopsis
Alan Gibbons takes us into Greek mythology in most exciting way with a powerful novel about a present-day boy, Phoenix, the son of a computer geek who creates a virtual reality game that gets a bit too real. In playing the game, Phoenix becomes Theseus pursued by the Minotaur, becomes Perseus and confronts the Gorgon, and goes down into the Underworld with Orpheus. His terrifying adventures are interwoven with the difficult reality of his life at home and at his new school. As always, Alan Gibbons writes with extraordinary understanding about contemporary children - but this time moves on to an action-packed and thrillingly dangerous story of fantasy worlds.

From AudioFile
Know any computer-enthralled teenaged boys? Can't get them to read a thing? Here's a recording that's more than rad, more than awesome: a computer game based on the two Greek myths of Theseus and the Minotaur and Perseus and Medusa. More than a game, this computer program ensnares players in another universe, one of fear and evil. Jamie Glover captures the impetuosity of young Phoenix Graves and urges the listener beyond the realm of his boring school and dreary backwater into the blazing sun of Greece and monsters. Though there's a savvy girl in the narrative, the author gives her little scope, so this really is a boy's book. B.H.B. © AudioFile 2003, Portland, Maine-- Copyright © AudioFile, Portland, Maine
