Greek Tales: The Boy Who Cried Horse

by Terry Deary

Everyone knows Acheron can’t be trusted—he’s always spinning stories.

As the war rages outside the walls of Troy, Acheron entertains Prince Paris and Helen with his vivid tales of heroism. But when a mysterious visitor arrives claiming the Greeks have sailed away, leaving behind a curious wooden horse, Acheron senses something isn’t right. He hurries to warn the palace of a hidden danger—but will anyone believe the boy known for his lies?
