Booklist Review
The Greek pantheon provides a ready-made cast of colorful characters for the Goddess Girls series, which explores universal trials and tribulations of early adolescence. In this latest volume, Persephone, known in mythology as the wife of Hades and goddess of the Underworld, is looking to shake up her dependable good-girl image at Mount Olympus Academy. She decides to try to charm her crush, Orpheus, with daring stunts, but in the end, she learns the value of dependability and the power of abandoning her comfort zone. A modern spin on basic mythology is the impetus for these clearly imagined characters, who contend with age-appropriate conflicts and problems.--Anderson, Erin Copyright 2010 Booklist
Horn Book Review
Playing matchmaker to mortals, Aphrodite finds herself in a fierce competition for extra credit at Mount Olympus Academy. Persephone must help Orpheus reunite with his one true love, Eurydice, possibly at Persephone's own expense. As with the rest of the series, these two fantasies offer lighthearted twists on Greek mythology, giving preteens a creative introduction to classical characters.
