Win a copy of The Odyssey
Closing Date: 31st August 2026
From perilous sea voyages and man-eating monsters to powerful witches and vengeful gods, experience the ultimate adventure in this modern retelling of Homer's Odyssey.
Take a journey across the sea and follow the heroic, catastrophic, and sometimes downright gruesome tales of the Greek king Odysseus as he travels home after the Trojan War.
Written by the host of the Let's Talk About Myths, Baby! podcast, Liv Albert, this gripping middle-grade adventure brings the legend of Odysseus to life. It is a story of trickery, lies, and perseverance, where you can watch as Odysseus is tested to the limits by the Cyclops, sirens, and lots of meddling, angry gods.
An essential introduction to ancient Greece for any young reader's library, this epic tale is an exciting gift for fans of ancient history and legends.
The Odyssey by Liv Albert, illustrated by Hazem Asif is published by DK Children's | RRP £18.99
