The Othernauts
Clare Pollard, Macha Yao (illus)
Phoebe is desperate to escape the boring island where she lives, so when the Argonauts, a group of so-called heroes, rock up, Phoebe decides to stow away on their ship. The Argonauts have harpies, deadly whirlpools and more to contend with and it is not clear exactly how helpful Phoebe and the other kids are going to be. A comedy retelling of the myth of Jason and the Argonauts, pitched at fans of Louie Stowell’s Loki series.
