By: Shane Hegarty
Alex is like any other twelve-year-old: he’s trying to survive school, navigate awkward body changes, and avoid his parents’ embarrassing “talks”. But Alex is hiding a secret...
Alex discovers part-minotaur. You read that right – part-boy, part-bull. Instead of just battling with spots the size of Mount Everest (thanks puberty) and the looming school musical, he also has to worry about horns and hooves! Just when he thinks life couldn't get worse, a new kid, Theseus, shows up at school, and he’s on a quest to capture a minotaur. And a clumsy one like Alex is an easy target...
Now Alex has to decide: will he embrace his inner “monster” and outsmart Theseus, or will Theseus fulfil his destiny?
With heart, humour, and a lot of mythological chaos, Shane Hegarty's Minotaur Boy is a fantastical twist on the everyday embarrassments of growing up and the struggle to fit in. This middle-grade adventure will resonate with anyone who’s ever felt different… or anyone who has ever been hunted by a demi-god!
