"With big laughs, big heart, and big monsters, Gyro and the Argonauts is timeless fun for everyone!" - Max Brallier, sandwich expert and author of the #1 New York Times bestselling series The Last Kids on Earth

"Gyro and the Argonauts is a hilarious, adventurous, and nail-biting twist on Greek mythology tropes with a well-developed cast of zany characters ... Gyro is the new hero we all need: courageous, monster friending, and true to himself." - Demetra Brodsky, award-nominated author of Last Girls and Dive Smack (and actual Greek)

Gyro and the Argonauts tells the totally (mostly) true story of the first "Greek Geek," a super fanboy vineyard grape-squisher named Gyro (like the sandwich), who learns there's so much more to the maligned monsters of mythology (such as the CYCLOPS, the MINOTAUR, and even MEDUSA herself), and so much less to his favorite heroes (including Perseus, Heracles, and Pegasus)than he ever dreamed. All this happens when he joins the crew of the intrepid Argonauts and learns to never meet your heroes (think: The Avengers, if the Avengers were all buttheads).

This side-splitting, voice-driven, and SUPER OUTRAGEOUS series follows Gyro (pronounced hee-roh) on his journey to become a hero.

In addition to fun, pertinent, and timeless themes, readers will also learn fascinating facts from Greek and Roman mythology (like the fact that Bellerophon, not Perseus, rode Pegasus the flying horse--and no, dear reader, we didn't know that, either!).

With bestselling author Joshua Pruett's hilarious and heartwarming prose, cover illustration by Annie Award-winning storyboard artist and character designer Anthony Holden (Spider-Man: Across the Universe and Puss in Boots: The Last Wish, among many more), and beautifully illustrated chapter headers by renowned comic artist Amanda Castillo (Mapmakers and the Flickering Fortress), this series starter is set to be a riotous and thrilling ride aboard the Argo.

Where The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy meets Clash of the Titans, and probably in between some slices of pita, you'll find Gyro and the Argonauts!
