Craig Phillips does the illustrations for this series. The authors are Suzanne Williams and Joan Holub, the two women who wrote the very popular GODDESS GIRLS series.
In Goddess Girls, the characters were in middle-grade and modern times. In HEROES IN TRAINING,
the boys are 10 years old, and far from trying to maneuver the halls of
school, these boys are fighting giants, Cronus, and mythical monsters.
