Description

A magical pair of shoes. Two curious kids. One accidental trip to Ancient Greece.

When Taki and Toula discover a pair of old red shoes at the bottom of their mother's dress-up chest, they expect costumes... not time travel.

But the moment they slip the shoes on -- WHOOSH! They land in Ancient Greece. No buildings. No crowds. Just a very frightened man... and a very angry Cretan Bull.

And the man? Hercules. The Hercules.

Except he's nothing like the hero from the stories. He's shaking. He's hiding. And he desperately needs help.

With a bull ready to charge and no idea how to get home, Taki and Toula must do the one thing they never expected: teach Hercules how to be brave.
