The second part in 'The Fire Thief' trilogy, a re-invention of the myth of Prometheus in an exciting blend of myth, history, comedy and action/adventure. Enter our narrator: Nell, a young girl and aspiring novelist, and her crafty Pa travel to the city with their stage show trying to get their audiences to open up pockets and purses. With the help of Nell, Terry Deary masterfully interweaves two plots, with the action jumping at whirlwind pace from mount Olympus to a gritty, ramshackle Eden City of 1795. Prometheus has a soft spot for humans in need, but using his powers to get his new friends out of trouble will betray his hiding place to the gods!
