Touch of Wind! A
Illustrated by Tony Ross
Perce, Andy, Eddie and Well’ard have already encountered a few Ancient Greek characters in their lives, so it should come as no surprise to them when they meet Odysseus. This time, they are on a none too enthralling outward bound course in Bogmouth-on-Sylt; and halfway through orienteering is when Odysseus crops up. As with all the other adventures, chaos soon ensues with elements of Ancient Greek mythology cheerfully colliding with our heroes in a madcap hilarious sequel to the previous books in the series. The book could appeal to reluctant readers, and to anyone teaching or learning about Ancient Greece. A most enjoyable read.
