Synopsis

The finale of an action-packed middle grade fantasy duology about a young Cuban American girl who discovers that she’s one of the nine muses of Greek mythology. Perfect for fans of The Serpent’s Secret, the Aru Shah series, and the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series.

Callie Martinez-Silva is finally getting the hang of this whole goddess within thing. Six months after learning she was one of the nine muses of ancient myth, she and the other junior muses are ready for new adventures. Except first Callie has to go to New York City for the summer to visit her dad, stepmom, and new baby brother.

Then the muses get startling news: an unprecedented tenth muse has been awakened somewhere in Queens, putting Callie in the perfect position to help find her. And she’ll have help—thanks to a runaway mold problem in London, Muse Headquarters is moving to the New York Hall of Science.

But balancing missions and family-mandated arts camp proves difficult for Callie, especially once mysterious messages from spiders (yikes!) begin to weave a tale of ancient injustice involving Callie’s campmate Ari.

Now Callie and her friends have to make a choice: follow orders and find the tenth muse or trust that sometimes fate has other plans.

To save the day, Callie will need all her courage—and a little help from her friends. But what happens when an ancient goddess stands in her way?

• Greek Mythology for Kids: A thrilling new take on the nine muses, complete with legendary goddesses, mythical monsters, and an ancient injustice that must be set right.
• Unlikely Friendships: Callie must team up with her mysterious campmate Ari, a girl with a dangerous secret tied to the gods themselves.
• Action-Packed Adventure: The hunt for the tenth muse takes Callie all over New York City, from the halls of a science museum to the hidden tunnels beneath Manhattan.
• Magic, Family, and Finding Your Place: A heartfelt story about a Cuban American girl balancing her secret identity, a summer visit with her dad, and the quest to figure out her own heroic destiny.
