A totally new take on the Heracles story! There is a boy who is not particularly tall, nor strong, nor indeed at all heroic. Well, he is obviously NOT Heracles, rather Heracles' half-brother, Iphicles. He narrates the story of Hercules as he grows from a difficult-to-handle lad into the legendary hero we know from the storybooks. Readers find themselves torn between deep emotion and laughing out loud, at the same time rediscovering this old story from a new perspective. It’s also a great conversation starter about modern mosaic families and the special bond that forms between siblings.
