The Cursed Carnival and Other Calamities

תקציר:
IF YOU COULD TRAVEL TO AN ALTERNATE UNIVERSE, WHERE WOULD YOU GO? To a magic bazaar where everyday errands turn into life-threatening quests? A tropical-island cave that may be inhabited by a monster? A space academy where the systems are mysteriously malfunctioning? Or would you rather meet Gum Baby? A chupacabra puppy? A puny demon? Maybe you'd prefer to go to a cursed powwow or a haunted carnival. How about traversing ancient Ireland with a young outlaw? You can do all the above by reading the myth-based short stories in this collection. All but one of the heroes has previously starred in a popular own-voices book from Rick Riordan Presents. You'll be reunited with Sal and Gabi, Aru Shah, Zane Obispo, Min the fox spirit, Tristan Strong's friends, Nizhoni Begay, Paola Santiago, Sikander Aziz, and Riley Oh. Who's the new hero? Read Rick Riordan's short story to find out! Ten best-selling and award-winning middle grade authors, representing various cultures from around the world, contributed to this anthology: Carlos Hernandez, Roshani Chokshi, J. C. Cervantes, Yoon Ha Lee, Kwame Mbalia, Rebecca Roanhorse, Tehlor Kay Mejia, Sarwat Chadda, Graci Kim, and Rick Riordan, who also served as the editor. There's something for everyone in this treasure chest of fast-paced and funny adventure stories that show what it takes to be a hero in any time, setting, or universe.
