Bull

Much like Lin-Manuel Miranda did in Hamilton, the New York Times best-selling author David Elliott turns a classic on its head in form and approach, updating the timeless story of Theseus and the Minotaur. A rough, rowdy, and darkly comedic young adult retelling in verse, which NPR called &quote;beautifully clever,&quote; Bull will have readers reevaluating one of mythology's most infamous monsters. SEE THE STORY OF THESEUS AND THE MINOTAURIN A WHOLE NEW LIGHT Minos thought he couldPull a fast oneOn me,Poseidon!God of the Sea!But I'm the last oneOn whom youShould try such a thing. The nerve of that guy. The balls. The audacity. I AM THE OCEAN!I got capacity!Depths! Darkness! Delphic power!So his sweet little planWent big-time sourAnd his wife had a sonBorn with horns and a muzzleWho ended upIn an underground puzzle. What is it with you mortals?You just can't seem to learn:If you play with fire, babies,You're gonna get burned.
