    About this ebook

    Goddess Girls follows four goddesses-in-training – Athena, Persephone, Aphrodite, and Artemis– as they navigate the ins and outs of divine social life at Mount Olympus Academy, where the most priviledged gods and goddesses of the Greco-Roman pantheon hone their mythical skills. In each book, readers get to see how each goddess became who we know today. These much-beloved classic myths are given a modern twist and follow storylines familiar to modern tweens, from dealing with bullies (Athena and Medusa) to first crushes (Persephone and Hades).

    Athena the Brain follows Athena's first days at Mount Olympus Academy. She always knew she was smart and special, but she didn't realize that she was a goddess! When she's whisked away to MOA, she worries about fitting in and dealing with her dad (Zeus). Luckily, she meets the Goddess Girls and finds the best friends she's ever had.

    In Persephone the Phony, Persephone develops a crush on bad-boy Hades. Her mom (Ceres) doesn't approve, and neither do her friends. Persephone finds herself sneaking around to see him, but he ultimately tells her that she should tell them the truth and it's revealed that he isn't all that bad, just misunderstood! The GG support her and eventually her mom comes around too.

    Aphrodite the Beauty features Aphrodite, goddessgirl of love, as she deals with jealousy after giving Athena a makeover (godboys pay more attention to her!), and dealing with a crush from an unlikely place -- the nerdy Hephaestus (god of the smith).

      Persephone the Phony by Joan Holub is freakin' adorable. I truly love this series. I'm a huge mythology buff and the myth of Hades and Persephone has always been a favorite of mine.I don't like how many modern interpretations show Hades as being cruel and heartless (the Percy Jackson series, Disney's Hercules, etc). There's little evidence in ancient mythology that Hades was a "mean" god (in fact he seems the most fair and least selfish of his family) and this book did a really good job of portraying how misunderstood Hades is.Persephone seemed dead-on with her overpowering, controlling mother and her own insecurity. I love that the story shows that, what a lot of children's books portray as "negative" feelings, are completely OK; it's alright to be upset, it's alright not to agree with your friends (the only time children's books show this is if the friends are doing something a-moral).All-in-all it was really cute. My one nitpick is that at the beginning of the school week, they are on day 23 of school, at the end of the week they are on day 65...the Greek calendar must have been REALLY interesting.

      Second in the Goddess Girls series. Was it as good as the first? Yes. Was it better? Can't say really. It was really good in it's own way. Because it did change main character to Persephone. She was interesting. They also introduced Hades. Loved him. The story was pretty good. School drama, got to love it.

      This is the second book int he Goddess Girls series. I love the messages in these books. They are written very good, and follow really close to all the God and Goddess stories. In this story Persephone is trying to make everyone else happy and not doing what she wants until she meets Hades in a graveyard on Earth and likes him, then she has trouble with her mom and her friends because he is from the Underworld .... in the end all is well and her mom gives her more leeway and her friends understand and meet Hades and seem to like him also.
