Description
Eric, the school bully, is causing trouble for Alex's best friend Charlie. He's been stealing his crisps and flushing his head down the loo. Alex isn't sure that Zeus, the Greek god, is the best person to ask for help but before he can stop him, Charlie has built a temple (from a piece of crumpled paper) to summon Zeus.
The problem is, the hot-headed god has now taken over the boys' loos and wants to smite Eric with a thunderbolt. But that's against the school rules, so how exactly will Zeus teach the bully a lesson?
Don't worry...Zeus will sort it out!
Another hilarious story from the author of ZEUS ON THE LOOSE and ZEUS TO THE RESCUE.
By thunder, I love the Zeus books! They're very, very funny - Andy Stanton
