Something is terribly wrong -- Helios's chariot and the sun are missing! Will daytime ever return to Greece? Follow four young demigods as they journey across ancient Greece, take a perilous trip to the Underworld, and try to reunite Helios with the sun before it's too late. They meet many gods and goddesses along the way as they try to solve the mystery of Apollo's quest. Each installment in this series follows a group of teenage 'demi-Gods' that didn't inherit any god-like powers, but they prove useful to the Gods by solving mysteries and problems in Ancient Greece. The characters must overcome self-doubt and discover their skills even though they may be disappointed that "powers" haven't come easily to them. Each book is carefully written with a focus on morphology, suffixes, prefixes, and word roots/bases. The Mount Olympus Mysteries series serves as a vital bridge between decodable and mainstream books, empowering readers to confidently understand meaning from text alone. This first book in the series has a morphology focus of verb endings (s, es, ed, ing), adverbs (ly), comparatives, and superlatives.
