Description

When Zeus, king of the gods, made enemies, he just hurled a thunderbolt at them. Thats one way to deal with your problems. Tuttle, a.k.a. Zeustian Logic, has problems of his own. His father was a famous mountain guide who didnt come back, lost in the Everest Death Zone. His little brother has gone quiet. Boy next door is out to get him. At least Tuttle has the stars. Through the telescope things fall into shape: eagle, serpents tail, scorpion, hunter, all those brilliant dots on the black. Everythings out there, indifferent and immense. Zeustian Logic is a funny, warm and moving novel for early teens.
