A young Poseidon must triumph over aquatic terrors in this Heroes in Training adventure.

The merciless Cronus and his Titan buddies are in hot pursuit of Zeus, Hera, and Poseidon, who plan to travel across the treacherous boiling sea in order to save a fellow Olympian. They have a boat, but they also have a problem: Poseidon can’t swim and is terrified of the water (well, really of the creatures that lurk in its depths). The group faces danger after danger as they battle singing sirens, a fishy and ferocious Titan named Oceanus, and people-eating monsters sent by Cronus himself. Can Poseidon overcome his fears and help his fellow heroes escape Cronus and his cronies?

Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Gr 3-6-The book picks up where Zeus and the Thunderbolt of Doom (2012) left off, with Zeus, Hera, and Poseidon heading for the sea to find a mysterious trident while the Cronies, Cronus's band of henchmen, continue to pursue the young Olympians. As they face many dangers, including the Sirens and the titan Oceanus, Poseidon comes into his own, discovering the power he has at his disposal. Throughout, full-page cartoon drawings depict exciting scenes, such as the Sirens rising out of the sea. However, while the victory belongs to Poseidon this time around, Zeus maintains the main point of view, and his quests to learn about his history, and about the secrets his new friends are keeping, are central. Those secrets, of course, will be obvious to any reader familiar with Greek myths, as many kids are sure to be, but Zeus's struggle here is genuine. Like its predecessor, this book is funny and fast paced, and focuses on characters kids will be interested in, including the newest Olympian to join the team, Hades. His story is up next, and it seems clear that the series will continue to entertain as Zeus collects more Olympians, learns more about his true identity, and explores ancient Greece.-Heather Talty, formerly at Columbia Grammar & Preparatory School, New York Cityα(c) Copyright 2011.

My 6.5 years old grandchild loved this book as he has the first two in the series. On hearing that the next book in the series would take another 4 to 5 months he was crestfallen. He reads this series and then goes back to his Greek Mythology books to reread the full stories there. A stroke of genius on the part of the writers.

My 7-year-old and I read this at bed time. It's probably a third-grade level book but the story is exciting and it's a fun introduction to the gods, though perhaps not quire traditional. We can't figure out why Hera, who is a main character here, is not the focus in one of the next two books.

5.0 out of 5 stars Poseidon findet seine Bestimmung!!
Reviewed in Germany on December 7, 2014

Ich liebe Joan Holub und Suzanne Williams einfach, sie haben so viele gute Ideen und schreiben so schöne Bücher. Das ist meine 3 Buchreihe von ihnen, nach den "Goddess Girls" und den "Grimmtastic Girls". Da ich Göttergeschichten liebe musste ich natürlich auch die "Heroes in Training" Reihe versuchen und bin bis jetzt begeistert. In Band 2 der Reihe geht es um Poseidon, der zusammen mit Zeus und Hera auf der Suche nach dem magischen Dreizack ist.

Ich fand Poseidon so niedlich, er ist nach Hades mein liebster Gott. Er ist der Gott des Meeres, hat aber Angst vor Wasser und kann nicht schwimmen. Man muss seine Art einfach mögen. Zeus fand ich ein klein wenig arrogant und hoffe das er in dem Punkt sich noch ändert. Hera war einfach Hera, dass sagt glaube ich schon alles. Eigentlich wollten die drei nur einen Dreizack finden, aber sie finden auch noch etwas anderes, verlieren dafür aber auch etwas wichtiges.

Fazit: Das Buch war sehr unterhaltsam und sehr spannend. Der Humor kam auch nicht zu kurz und es hat sich sehr flüssig lesen lassen. Wie die Anderen Reihen wird auch die "Heroes in Training" Reihe vom Aladdin Verlag heraus gebracht. Ich liebe den Aladdin Verlag, er gestaltet die Cover immer so schön und auch die Buchseiten sind sehr schön verziert.

Der Schreibstil der Autorinnen ist so toll und sie verstehen es den Leser zu verzaubern. Leider ist das Buch etwas kurz, aber das war auch bei den ersten Büchern der "Goddess Girls" Reihe so und ich hoffe wirklich das die Folge Bände etwas länger werden. Ich finde die Geschichten einfach so toll und sie lesen sich immer so schnell durch, ich brauche einfach mehr Seiten. In der "Goddess Girls" Reihe sind die Bücher auch länger geworden, also habe ich auch Hoffnung für diese Reihe!!
