A hilarious, heartwarming twist on Greek mythology, perfect for anyone who has ever felt a little bit different.

Alex is like any other twelve-year-old: he's trying to survive school, navigate awkward body changes, and avoid his parents' embarrassing talks. But Alex is hiding a secret...

Alex is part-minotaur. You read that right - part-boy, part-bull. Instead of just battling with spots the size of Mars (thanks, puberty) and the looming school musical, he also has to worry about horns, hooves, and seriously hairy toes! And Alex soon learns that he isn't the only monster in town. Every creature of myth has a legendary destiny and Alex is about to find out his...

With heart, humour, and a lot of mythological chaos, Shane Hegarty's Minotaur Boy is a fantastical twist on the everyday embarrassments of growing up and the struggle to fit in.

This myth-inspired middle-grade adventure for children 8-12 will resonate with and inspire anyone who's ever felt different... or anyone who has ever been hunted by a demi-god!
