"A charming, funny and hugely enjoyable reimagining of Greek mythology. Perfect for fans of Loki." Anna James

When people hear Polyphemus is a cyclops, they always assume he's a big scary MONSTER with one huge eye who EATS PEOPLE.

The truth is, YES, he is big, and he does have one huge eye, and ok he does OCCASIONALLY eat people… but THAT’S NOT THE WHOLE STORY!

All he ever wanted was to throw THE GREATEST PARTY OF ALL TIME! But then Odysseus arrived, and it all went very, VERY, wrong…

"A charming, funny and hugely enjoyable reimagining of Greek mythology. Perfect for fans of Loki." Anna James, bestselling author of the Pages & Co. series

"Fun, fast-paced and hilarious, with fab illustrations." Philippa Leathley, bestselling author of the Inkbound series

"Anarchic … propelled by short, cliff-hanger chapters and immersive illustrations. But for all the jokes, Miller's story contains some serious subject matter about prejudice and inclusion – and it will win Polyphemus a whole new army of fans." The Telegraph
