Hercules Braver may seem like a regular kid, but he is (secretly) a Greek hero… His birth dad is Zeus himself! So, Herc’s life will no doubt be filled with GLORY. But what about FORTUNE?
It’s the school holidays and Herc has so many plans… sailing a yacht, going on a cruise, and generally touring the world slaying monsters. But Mum tells him they’re struggling to make ends meet, and the best she can manage is to send him to Young Explorers camp with his friend Pav. DISASTER!
How can Herc make money? Invent something amazing? Win the lottery? Become a tech billionaire? He’s on the case with Pav, Hatty and Natthew. But their schemes take them to some unexpected places… especially when vengeful Zeus finds out that Hercules and Mum might reveal his secret existence!
Soon, Herc is facing the pranks of trickster god Hermes, rafting down a treacherous river, and dressing up as a donkey… Can he get his hands on the fortune he craves, or will he find that true riches lie in unexpected places? And can he and Mum finally get one over on the Greek Gods…?
