Mount Olympus Mysteries Apollo and the Lost Sun (Phonics Books HiLo Chapter Books)

Mount Olympus Mysteries is a new series of four Hi-Lo chapter books tailored for readers aged 10–14 who need support. With line art illustrations in every chapter, this action-packed tale is sure to engage from beginning to end.


Each instalment in this series follows a group of teenage 'demi-Gods' that didn't inherit any god-like powers, but they prove useful to the Gods by solving mysteries and problems in Ancient Greece. The characters must overcome self-doubt and discover their skills even though they may be disappointed that “powers” haven’t come easily to them.

Each book is carefully written with a focus on morphology, suffixes, prefixes, and word roots/bases. The Mount Olympus Mysteries series serves as a vital bridge between decodable and mainstream books, empowering readers to confidently understand meaning from text alone.

This first book in the series has a morphology focus of verb endings (s, es, ed, ing), adverbs (ly), comparatives, and superlatives.
