The World's Bellybutton

By Tanya Landman

William Popidopolos is in a race against time in this comic adventure where mythology and reality collide!

William travels to a Greek isle to meet his long-lost father. There he meets a talking swan, who is really Zeus, king of the gods - and he desperately needs William's help. The knot that ties the world together is slipping, and the planet is about to explode! Can they trick the Gorgons and re-tie the knot before it is too late?
