The Twelve Labors of Nick
by Amy Wolf
Can a nerdy loner perform the 12 Labors of Hercules? Nick hates high school and everyone in it. He's always been "different," but thought it was due to his dark skin... ...not because his father is Chiron, the immortal centaur. Now, Chiron's back in his life for the first time in Nick's memory, but instead of bringing an Xbox, all his dad does is deliver Nick to the wacked-out world of Mýthos and present a quest: Complete the 12 Labors of Hercules and rid the world of monsters before the titan Typhon breaks out of Tartarus...or Mýthos will be destroyed. Nick is more than aware he's not cut out to be a hero. Can't he just go home and get bullied like a normal teenager? That would hurt a lot less than his current suicide mission. But there's one little catch - if he doesn't succeed, Earth will be destroyed, too! Can Nick complete his 12 Labors...
