Samurai Jack is Cartoon Network's newest hit from the creator of Dexter's Lab. Scholastic is launching with a line of original, 4/c chapter books that capture the unique spirit of Jack's adventures.

Jack has a new challenge to face -- he must perform seven deadly labors straight from Greek mythology. The tasks are nearly impossible, even for a trained samurai, and Jack has suspicions about who's behind them. Is it really the fearful goddess Divina -- or is she just another minion of Aku sent to punish him? Either way, Jack has no choice -- he must complete the tasks or serve Divina forever...
