  Secret to Success is an inspiring story about perseverance, patience, and the value of a good friend when things get tough. 
  Quinn is used to picking things up quickly—whether it's schoolwork, games, or puzzles. But during a school ski trip, Quinn faces an unexpected challenge: skiing isn't easy, and it's definitely not coming naturally. Frustrated and ready to give up, Quinn gets a boost of encouragement from their friend Yanni, who reminds them that real success often comes from trying, stumbling, and trying again. 
  With humor and heart, Secret to Success helps young readers see that frustration is part of learning—and that a little support can make a big difference. A perfect read for any child learning that sometimes the hardest things are the most rewarding.

  Hera has been pushed to the edge. Her power, authority, and legacy have been tarnished time and again by the calloused actions of her husband Zeus, but with the birth of the demigod hero Hercules her shame has been laid bare for all to see. To reclaim her sovereignty, Hera is willing to risk her throne, and even her life, to see Hercules meet his end. To this end, she plots a coup on Olympus and embroils herself in an alliance with a monster beyond even her control. 
   Secrets are revealed behind every turn. Rivalries and alliances are made and broken as Fate tests the resolve of mortal and immortal alike. In the aftermath, the far-flung consequences of their battle will leave the deepest wounds and blood on the hands of the denizens of Heaven and Earth.

Each of these creatures challenges the demigod in a different way and leaves a mark that he will carry for the rest of his days. Choice and Fate blur as Hercules regains his freedom from the Labors and sets out to reclaim his rightful place among the gods.
