Beasts of Olympus
The Beasts of Olympus series, written by Lucy Coats and illustrated by Brett Bean and David Roberts, is a fun and engaging middle-grade fantasy series that brings the world of Greek mythology to life through the eyes of a young boy named Demon, the son of the god of medicine, Asclepius. In this series, Demon is tasked with taking care of the mythical creatures in Olympus' Beastarium, a sanctuary where the gods magical animals reside. The central plot revolves around Demons adventures as the Beastkeeper, where he must use his growing knowledge of magical creatures and his quick thinking to care for and heal the gods' beasts. Each book in the series focuses on a specific creature or group of creatures in need of help, with the gods often adding complications to Demons already difficult job. Despite the chaos, Demon always manages to find a way to care for the creatures and impress the gods, though not without some humor and mishaps along the way. The series is aimed at middle-grade readers, typically ages 7-10, but its humour and charm make it enjoyable for a wider range of children, especially those who have an interest in mythology, animals, or magical creatures.Top of Form
