In this book, young readers are introduced to the mythological hero Jason and his quest to find the Golden Fleece. That skin of a magic sheep was thought to bring good luck, riches, and prosperity to whoever possessed it. This fleece supposedly existed in a faraway land said to be filled with terrifying monsters and other dangers. Yet the young and fearless Jason did not flinch when a power-hungry king challenged him to search out and bring back the magical object. In this retelling, author Don Nardo brings the magic of Jason and the Argonauts to young readers.
