Greek Tales: The Boy Who Cried Horse by Terry Deary

Greek Tales: The Boy Who Cried Horse by Terry Deary

Young Acheron is a liar. Everybody knows it. But when a stranger comes to the city to announce that the Greeks have departed, leaving a special gift of a wooden horse, Acheron is suspicious. He races to tell Prince Paris about the Greek plot, but will anyone believe him?

Hilarious.. with energy and invention. Deary has a remarkable ability to conjure up vivid characters and scene-settings within a brief narrative. * Books for Keeps (September 2007) *
'Despite the moral it's a good introduction to an historical event and very funny with lots of action. Children will love the characters... There is lots of dialogue and some lovely evocative imagery too. Highly reccommended.' * Carousel (June 2007) *
