Beast Keeper (Beasts of Olympus #1)

Author(s): Lucy Coats

Junior Fiction 5-9-year-olds

What begins as just another ordinary day for Demon ends up being far from normal, because travelling on a rainbow to Mount Olympus is a bit odd for anyone, even if your dad is the Greek god Pan When his long-lost father appears and takes him to the kingdom of the gods to look after their mythical beasts, Demon is in for a shock. The stables are full of creatures like an ill Hydra, flatulent Cattle of the Sun and a very grumpy Griffin. All Demon's animal husbandry skills, polished on his mother's farm on Earth, are going to be put to a rather exacting test as he tries to sort out the chaos and neglect and at the same time deal with the upset and concern of the gods.
