One boy\'s journey through Hercules\'s feats of strength changes everything.
Will he take it?.
With each bus route traveled and page turned, Alan has a chance to embrace his own courage.
The more Alan discovers from the stories, the more confidence he gains.
While Alan struggles with a budding crush on his classmate Julie and bullies who seem determined to make his life miserable, Cyril guides him through life lessons using myths-a topic they both love.
That is, until Cyril, his kindhearted bus driver, takes Alan under his wing.
Since his father\'s death, Alan feels unmoored, with only his favorite Greek myth-the labors of the legendary Hercules-to keep him company.
It\'s 1966, and sixth grade offers nothing but challenges for Alan Cower.
