Ulysses, mythical hero and king of Ithaca, left years ago to fight in the Trojan War. He never came home. His son, Telemachus, an impatient and immature prince who is as clumsy as he is ambitious, decides to go looking for him. On the way, he meets the hot-headed princess Polycaste, who helps him in his perilous adventure full of vengeful gods and terrifying monsters. Will the winds be favorable to them?
Brash, young Telemachus continues his search for his father on the Island of Aeaea, where the witch Circe entertains him and his friends with banquets full of fresh, roasted pork. Circe's daughter, Cassiphone, has her own reasons for joining Mac and his friends as they look for Ulysses, and she knows just where to go: Hades, the land of the dead, in search of the seer Tiresias, who can show them the way. So Telemachus and his growing band of friends head off across Terra Incognita, in the hope of finally catching up with his father.
Jack is a typical grade school kid... except that he never speaks a word, is followed everywhere he goes by a flying bug, and can turn into any animal he wants, usually to come to the rescue of his family and classmates. Not everybody appreciates his strange behavior, however. When the town's children start disappearing into the forest, though, Jack's special ability is their only hope. Will Jack ever be understood and accepted by those around him? And will the townsfolk come to see the forest as anything besides a danger and a nuisance?

In dit eerste deel gaat Leo, die met geesten kan communiceren, naar
een nieuwe school. Hij komt al gauw in de verleiding om zijn
bijzondere gave te gebruiken om zich te verdedigen tegen de kleine
etters die de speelplaats terroriseren. Hij ontmoet er Farah, die
haar lichaam deelt met een demonisch wezen en Hamelen, die de taal
van dieren verstaat. Wanneer Leo onterecht van diefstal beschuldigd wordt, trekt het drietal op onderzoek uit. Tijdens hun speurtocht
ontmoeten ze andere kinderen met bovennatuurlijke gaven.
Leo, Farah en Hamelen bevinden zich in een moeilijke situatie: het
lijkt of alle volwassenen onderling afgesproken hebben om hen het
leven zuur te maken en hen continu te controleren. Zelfs Julie, de
aardige directrice van het Mercurycollege voert nieuwe disciplinaire
regels in. Wanneer het dierenasiel probeert om de dieren van Hamelen
af te pakken en de politie de robots van Lupe in beslag neemt, lopen de twee weg en verzetten ze zich samen met de andere jongeren.
Leo stort zich op de bibliotheek van zijn vader. Zo komt hij meer te
weten over de zeven oorspronkelijke magiërs. En de waarheid blijkt
ver van de legende te liggen! Zo leest Leo dat er acht en geen zeven
magiërs waren, en dat een van hen de anderen heeft verraden. Hij
ontdekt ook dat de magie overgaat naar de eerste erfgenaam... en dat
de andere kinderen van een magiër onverbiddelijk sterven! Maar vooral: het Beest is volledig bedacht door de magiërs om helden te
lijken in de ogen van de mensen en zo hun vertrouwen te winnen.
Ze zijn met zeven. Zeven tieners. Zeven magiërs. Zeven helden met
bovennatuurlijke gaven verbonden door één missie, een zoektocht.
Samen kunnen ze de wereld redden... of vernietigen! In deel drie
heeft Leo maar één doel voor ogen: de zevende magiër vinden! Dankzij
Alice, de helderziende, weet Leo dat hij op zoek is naar iemand die
hij ooit al ontmoet heeft en die waarschijnlijk hetzelfde teken
draagt als Leo en de andere vijf magiërs. Sterker nog, volgens de
voorspelling van Alice zal een van hen de tovenaar volgende woensdag
ontmoeten. Het is een race tegen de klok wanneer de stad geteisterd
wordt door een afschuwelijk gigantisch beest dat de stad en alles in
zijn weg vernietigd... En de Magic 7 kunnen niets doen tenzij ze
voltallig zijn.

To answer that question, he sets out on an investigation into the very heart of death and love...
Not only was it the worst marathon in Olympic history, but you would be hard-pressed to find another event that was as scandalously bad as the 1904 marathon. This is no slight on (most of) the men who competed, because it would seem as if the race were bad by design: the organizer of the Games, James E. Sullivan, wasn't looking for the glory of competition and sportsmanship at his games, but rather evidence of white supremacy. Deprived of water, running under a blazing sun on dusty, hilly roads: it's a miracle that fourteen of the initial thirty-two competitors even completed the event. The story of this race and the athletes who took part is ludicrous, unedifying, and a terribly good time.
