'Jampacked with rich characters, loads of humour and lots of fun' Kids Book Review 'This is a whimsical, funny story with eccentric characters all led by the enterprising and helpful Hercules. Andrew Joyner's illustrations are equally fun with lots of details to pore over. This book by the Australian Children's Laureate, Ursula Dubosarsky, is divided into short chapters, which makes it perfect for newly independent readers.' Reading Time
