Artemis the Brave, 4: Volume 4 (Goddess Girls)

There is a lovely new series of books about the Greek goddesses as young girls entitled Goddess Girls. My review of ATHENA THE BRAIN is below. Please note although I haven't read this book I can tell you that in my school library this book is checked out constantly. I have multiple copies now and the word of mouth recommendations by the students themselves is amazing. Someone asks for it every day. After they read all four books in the series I recommend the Mary Pope Osbornes Tales of the Odyssey series and Kate McMullan's Myth-O-Mania series.The first one is Athena the Brain and it is adorable. Athena is living on earth being raised by mortals until she is summoned to Mount Olympus by her dad, Zeus. It is time for her to attend the academy and so she bids her best friend farewell and heads off to Olympus. There she meets Persephone, Aphrodite and Artemis ( each will have their own book) as well as Zeus, Poseidon, Pandora and more. Filled with mythology and creative earthy inventions (Athena invents olives in a science fair) this book is perfect as a prequel to The Lightning Thief series and for younger kids.

I love Artemis she is awesome sand just as the title brave. The reason I think she is just l like me is because she might be tough but she will always have a soft spot for her friends. Nobody would think she would have a crush but she did he thinks of her as one of the guys like most of my friends at Hodge school no matter how much of a Tom boy I am there will always be some girl in me and that is what most of the boys don't get but there was always knew that gets me we have been friends for six years now and she is the only one who gets that ,JO

It is a great little story for young girls.

If you are looking for entertainment, my daughters loved them. If you are looking for accurate Greek mythology, my son was quite appalled. My eight-year-old is a reluctant reader, but she could not put these down and begged for the entire series.

A great book for my little niece named Artemis.
