#Giveaway ARGOS: THE STORY OF ODYSSEUS AS TOLD BY HIS LOYAL DOG by Ralph Hardy @RalphHardy1 #BookBlast Ends 6.22

May 28, 2018 By Mary

by Ralph Hardy
SYNOPSIS

From a compelling new voice in middle grade comes a reimagination of The Odyssey told from the point of view of Odysseus’s loyal dog—a thrilling tale of loyalty, determination, and adventure.

For twenty years, the great hero Odysseus struggles to return to Ithaka. After ten years beneath the walls of Troy, he begins the long journey back home. He defeats monsters. He outsmarts the Cyclops. He battles the gods. He struggles to survive and do whatever it takes to reunite with his family.

And what of that family—his devoted wife, Penelope; his young son, Telemachos; his dog, Argos? For those twenty years, they wait, unsure if they will ever see Odysseus again. But Argos has found a way to track his master. Any animal who sets foot or wing on Ithaka brings him news of Odysseus’s voyage—and hope that one day his master will return. Meanwhile, Argos watches over his master’s family and protects them from the dangers that surround a throne without its king.

    I have one dog who is a Terrier mix. He is a rescue and does not listen to commands or follow rules. He is also a very sweet boy who is the most dainty eater you ever will see. He’s a treasure.

    I currently have no animals, but I’m thinking of getting fish ( I have a 30 gallon high tank) and a guinea pig.
