The Boy Lost in the Maze

English

By (author): Joseph Coelho

Illustrated by: Kate Milner

In his new verse novel, Joseph Coelho brilliantly blends Greek myth with a 21st century quest.  In Ancient Greece Theseus makes a dangerous and courageous journey to find his father, finally meeting the Minotaur in the Labyrinth. While Theo, a modern-day teenage boy, finds himself on a maze-like quest to find his own father. Each story tells of a boy becoming a man and discovering what true manhood really means.

The path to self-discovery takes Theo through those thin spaces where myth, magic and reality combine. Doubts, difficulties and dangers must be faced as Theo discovers the man he will become.
