Each instalment in this series follows a group of teenage 'demi-Gods' that didn't inherit any god-like powers, but they prove useful to the Gods by solving mysteries and problems in Ancient Greece. The characters must overcome self-doubt and discover their skills even though they may be disappointed that 'powers' haven't come easily to them.

Each book is carefully written with a focus on morphology, suffixes, prefixes, and word roots/bases. The Mount Olympus Mysteries series serves as a vital bridge between decodable and mainstream books, empowering readers to confidently understand meaning from text alone.

This first book in the series has a morphology focus of verb endings (s, es, ed, ing), adverbs (ly), comparatives, and superlatives.
