A Powell's Best Book of 2023 Kate Ristau's new Mythwakers series sets out to teach kids all about mythology but in a new and super fun way: through the point of view of its characters. First up is Asterion, the famous minotaur. Asterion is goofy, kind of cheeky, and full of fascinating facts about his mythological life and the true history of Ancient Greece. With Ristau's light, breezy style and loads of hilarious jokes and asides, Mythwakers: The Minotaur is a great way for kids to find and foster a love of mythology and history. I can't wait to find out what figure, and what mythological world, is up next. Recommended By Gigi Little, Powells.com
