The Trojan Horse

Reach for this book when your child is fascinated by puzzles, strategy, or legendary heroes but struggles to engage with dense, text-heavy history books. It is a perfect bridge for the visual learner who enjoys seeing how things are built and how problems are solved through wit rather than just force. Through the lens of the Greek siege of Troy, the story highlights the importance of creative thinking and perseverance in the face of long-standing obstacles. While the setting is an ancient war, the graphic novel format focuses on the ingenious engineering of the wooden horse and the tactical brilliance of Odysseus. It is highly appropriate for the 8 to 12 age range, offering a vibrant and accessible entry point into Greek mythology. Parents will appreciate how it builds vocabulary and historical context while keeping the reader glued to the page with cinematic pacing and clear, expressive artwork.
