It is a simple but engaging retelling of a Greek myth for young readers. Ariadne was a kind princess of Crete. She lived in one palace where a scary secret was: the Minotaur, a monster in the Labyrinth. Theseus is a brave Athenian hero. He must fight this beast in the labyrinth. Ariadne needs his help. So she must save him. The princess gives him a ball of thread that will help him find the way in the labyrinth. Theseus defeats the Minotaur. He takes Ariadne and they together sail to Naxos. Ariadne is brave and ready to face new adventures. This story is about love, trust, betrayal and inner strength. It is short but exciting with easy words and a fast-moving plot. A great choice for young fans of myths and heroes!
