Description
A novel in the tradition of coming-of-age stories, The Labors of Hercules Beal follows a seventh grader as he navigates a challenging school assignment that forces him to confront his own strengths and weaknesses. When his homeroom teacher assigns him to replicate the mythical feats of Hercules, he is skeptical, but with the help of new friends and allies, he begins to see that he doesn't have to face his challenges alone.
As Herc works to complete his labors, he learns valuable lessons about friendship, community, and self-reliance. With its warm and witty tone, this story is a heartwarming exploration of what it means to grow up and find one's place in the world.
