The Shadow Thieves


Author: Anne Ursu

Charlotte Mielswetzski has never had anything interesting happen to her; until her cousin Zee is sent to live with her and her parents to escape the mysterious "sickness" that is spreading throughout London's children. Then all of Charlotte's friends and schoolmates start getting sick too. Who are the strange men in tuxedos that are following her? And the creepy English teacher that takes mythology a little too seriously? Charlotte and Zee are then swept up into a quest into the not so mythical Underworld. They must defeat the bad guy named Phil and save the entire world, but can two kids hold out against all of the Greek "myths"? Love. This. Book. Of course I am partial to stories about Greek mythology. The first book in The Cronus Chronicles.

For Parents: 12+
