Wendover Bookshop - The Legendeer Trilogy, Alan Gibbons

Shadow of the Minotaur 'Real Life' or the death-defying adventures of the Greek myths, with their heroes and monsters, daring deeds and narrow escapes - which would you choose?

For Phoenix it's easy. He hates his new home and the new school where he is bullied. He's embarrassed by his computer geek dad. But when he logs on to The Legendeer, the game his dad is working on, he can be a hero. He is Theseus fighting the terrifying Minotaur, or Perseus battling with snake-haired Medusa.

Shortlisted for the Carnegie medal, Shadow of the Minotaur was winner of the Blue Peter Book Award in the 'Book I Coudn't Put Down' category in 2000.
