“I’m the Minotaur” by Anthony McGowan is a retelling of the classic Greek myth of the Minotaur. The story is told from the perspective of the Minotaur, a half-man, half-bull creature who is imprisoned in a labyrinth by King Minos. The Minotaur is lonely and longs for companionship, but his monstrous appearance scares away anyone who comes near him.

One day, a young girl named Ariadne is brought to the labyrinth as a sacrifice to the Minotaur. Instead of being afraid, Ariadne befriends the Minotaur and helps him escape from the labyrinth. Together, they embark on a journey to find a new home where the Minotaur can live in peace.

Throughout the book, the Minotaur reflects on his past and the events that led to his imprisonment. He also struggles with his identity as a monster and his desire to be accepted by others.

“I’m the Minotaur” is a touching and thought-provoking story about friendship, acceptance, and the power of compassion.
