Athena the Brain

(Goddess Girls , Book #1, Simon & Schuster, $5.99, ages 8-12)

In the first book of the Goddess Girl series Athena is the new Goddess Girl at her new school Mount Olympus Academy (MOA). Athena has to learn so much about being a goddess. She was always the smartest girl at her old school (Triton Junior High) but being here changes everything. Athena has to face a stuck up Medusa and a flirting Poseidon, but her new friends Aphrodite, Artemis, Persephone, and Pandora help her get through it all This book is great for anyone who loves mythology and is perfect for any incoming middle schoolers. It also shows that those new kids can make it in a new school and that friends are always around the corner.

Persephone the Phony

(Goddess Girls, Book #2, Simon & Schuster, $5.99, ages 8-12)

by Joan Holub and Suzanne Williams

In the second book of the Goddess Girls series, Persephone has to “go along to get along.” Her mother always told Persephone to do what your friends want and not cause problems by being yourself. She never had the voice to speak out, until she meets Hades. Persephone has to find out who she really is, even though her friends and classmates on Mount Olympus think differently. In the end Persephone learns always to be herself and it will work out. This book is great for any girls having troubles about who you should be around friends.
