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.
