In the thrilling second installment of the Cronus Chronicles trilogy, the lives of Charlotte Mielswetski and her cousin Zee are interrupted again by Philonecron, the deranged demigod and grandson of Poseidon. Illustrations.
Charlotte and Zee get caught up in Poseidonβs plan to avenge his progenyβs defeat in this βwitty, well-paced, and funβ (Kirkus Reviews) second book in the middle grade Cronus Chronicles series inspired by Greek mythologyβnow with a new look!
Charlotte Mielswetzskiβs reward for saving the world is getting ultra-mega-grounded. Turns out, itβs hard to explain adventures in the Underworld to parents. Zeeβs managed to evade punishment, instead being treated like heβs about to break, but heβs been distant since the cousins returned.
When Charlotteβs parents announce theyβre going on a cruise, she thinks things might be looking up. But the cruise is strictly educationalβ¦and was orchestrated by Poseidon. Philonecron is Poseidonβs grandson and isnβt pleased about his delicious plans being thwarted by mortal children, and the god of the sea is only too happy to help him get revenge.
Stranded on the high seas, Charlotte and Zee are squarely in the domain of the second-most powerful god in the universeβwhoβs out for their blood.
