ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Best-selling author Rick Riordan presents ten new stories –including one of his own –about beloved heroes that sprang from the imaginations of some of the best middle grade authors working today.
 
“I hope you enjoy your trip through the multiverse mansion as much as I did. The real danger is that once you start exploring all the wonders herein, you may want to stay forever.” —Rick Riordan
 
A cave monster... an abandoned demon... a ghost who wants to erase history... a killer commandant... These are just some of the challenges confronting the young heroes in this highly entertaining anthology.
 
All but one of the heroes previously starred in a popular book from Rick Riordan Presents. You'll be reunited with Aru Shah, Zane Obispo, Min the fox spirit, Sal and Gabi, Gum Baby, Nizhoni Begay, Paola Santiago, Sikander Aziz, and Riley Oh. Who is the new hero? Read Rick Riordan's short story to find out!
 
Ten bestselling and award-winning middle grade authors contributed to this collection: Roshani Chokshi, J.C. Cervantes, Yoon Ha Lee, Carlos Hernandez, Kwame Mbalia, Rebecca Roanhorse, Tehlor Kay Mejia, Sarwat Chadda, Graci Kim, and Rick Riordan, who also served as the editor.
 
The cultures represented by these own-voices stories are: Indian, Mesoamerican, Korean, Cuban, Black American, African, Navajo, Mexican, Mesopotamian, and Celtic.
 
Ther’s something for everyone in this collection of fast-paced and funny adventure stories that show what it takes to be a hero in any time, setting, and universe.
Rick Riordan es, sin duda, uno de los autores más reconocidos de la literatura juvenil. Durante varios años fue profesor de secundaria, pero el fulgurante éxito de la serie Percy Jackson y los dioses del Olimpo hizo que se decidiera por la escritura. Su trilogía Las crónicas de Kane se colocó en el primer puesto de la lista de los libros más vendidos del New York Times. Posteriormente cosechó otro éxito internacional con los cinco tomos de la serie Los héroes del Olimpo. Ha sido reconocido como el Autor del Año en los premios Childrens Choice Book.
