Hyperion and the Great Balls of Fire (Heroes in Training Series, Book #4) by Joan Holub & Suzanne Williams
Phew, it's really hot! As in, Underworld hot. Under the Titan Hyperion's rule, the sun is burning even brighter than usual and scorching everything in its path.
What's worse, it looks like a familiar foe, Cronus, is hot on their trail as Zeus, Poseidon, Hades, Hera, and Demeter head out to find a mysterious Olympic torch. Between the (un)fun games of Dodge the Fireballs and scary, mysterious winged creatures that block their path, can the Olympians handle the heat?
