Quicksilver
Written
by Stephanie Spinner
Hermes—also known as Mercury, Wayfinder, and Prince of Thieves—has
many talents. Wearing his famed winged sandals, he does the bidding
of his father Zeus, leads the dead down to Hades, and practices
his favorite arts of trickery and theft. He also sees the future,
travels invisibly, loves jokes, and abhors violence. And he’s
an entertaining and ideal narrator on a fast-paced journey through
ancient Greek mythology—from Medusa’s cave to Trojan
War battlefields to the mysterious Underworld.
Praise
"A sparkling and witty book" -The Wall Street Journal
“Hermes is a wonderfully engaging narrator. . . . It’s
good to be a god.” —Kirkus Reviews, Starred
"A rich, accessible entrée into classical mythology.”
—Booklist
" Teens who love mythology will be thrilled with Spinner’s
deft and witty retelling of Greek legends.” —VOYA
“Smart-aleck irony mixed with charm makes the god’s
account a memorable, entertaining avenue into Greek mythology.”
—Horn Book
“The hip but not hypertrendy tone of the narration as well
as the bite-sized stories... will entice junior-high and high-school
aged readers to try Hermes’ winged sandals on for size.”
—The Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books

Twins Todd and Tessa don’t always think alike, but there’s
one thing they both agree on—Gemini Jack’s is their
favorite store in the mall. Where else can you find a remote control
that works on people, or a mirror that sees 10 minutes into the
future? And Jack is even stranger—he glows in the dark, and
gives discounts to Tod and Tessa because they’re twins. Then
Jack develops an interest in the other set of twins in Tod and Tessa’s
grade—nasty Ned and Nancy. They’re so mean, even their
mother is scared of them. Why would Jack want to meet them?
Tod and Tessa are about to learn what happens when you introduce
your worst enemies to the coolest guy in the universe.
