The book is about the goddess named Artemis who attends Mount Olympus Academy. The Annual Olympic Games are coming up and she wants to compete in them, but according to Zeus, the King of the Gods and also the principal at the Academy, only boys are allowed to compete in the games! Not fair!! Artemis is also better at sports than most of the godboys. So, Artemis decided to do something about it by drawing up a petition for a Girls-Only Olympics! The purpose of the petition was so Zeus would see t...more

I enjoyed the book, Artemis the Loyal. Artemis is trying to help her brother, Apollo, beat the Python in a battle, while trying to get a second Olympian games for girls only. She faces many struggles with friends and family when attempting these goals. Artemis needs the help of her three goddess friends: Aphrodite, Athena, and Persephone, to convince Zeus (their dad and principal) those girls should have Olympian games too. She also has a hard time convincing Apollo, her twin brother that the py...more
Artemis the Loyal is the seventh book in the Goddess Girl series. Artemis is the Greek goddess of bravery and archery. She attends MOA. That is short for Mount Olympus Academy. She goes there with all her other Goddess Girl buddies.
This is no ordinary time at Mount Olympus Academy, nope, it is time for the Olympic Games. The Olympic Games are annual challenges that the gods have to go through to see who is the most dominant of them all. But this year there is something new. It is the Python-O-...more
This is yet another excellent addition to the Goddess Girls series. The entire gang of Goddess Girls is back in this story told from Artemis' point of view.
This installment really explores Artemis' relationship with her twin brother, Apollo. Artemis wants things to be like they always have been, but Apollo is starting to need his own space. Artemis tries to understand that just because Apollo wants to see if he can succeed on his own and do things for himself instead of relying on Artemis, it do...more

The story begins at Mount Olympus Academy where the Olympic games are about to begin. Just like years in the past it is a "no girls" allowed competition. This doesn't sit to well with Artemis so she strives to develop her own games and convince principal Zeus that he should change his mind. I love how the authors explore every day issues in a fun, upbeat way. They delve into the relationship between Artemis and her brother Apollo and the need to feel like you fit in. The plot always has a nice m...more

This is the seventh book in the Goddess Girls series by Joan Holub. Our oldest has really gotten interested in Greek Mythology and loves this series. I like them as well and they have a fresh, young vibe that will appeal to the pre-teen, young teen girl audience.
This story is longer than the first book in the series and it also gets a little deeper into a romantic aspect. Our girls are not quite ready for that yet, but thankfully it's still PG. We enjoyed the Olympic Games theme of the story an...more

(I read this book in third quarter.) I loved this book because it was another book from the Goddess Girls Series and it had the point of view of one of my favorite Greek goddesses, Artemis. This book had thrills and chills that keeps through the end. The book makes everyone have their own times of when their brother made them look like a fool or maybe have had something you love, but could not do it. This was why I really liked this book a whole lot.

I first discovered this series two years ago when I was in the sixth grade. Ever since then, I have read most of the books in the series. I like how the two authors put a mythological twist on realistic problems. It was a fun read. Even though the books in the series could be most popular for young people, I think people of all ages will enjoy it. Like me, two years later I'm in the eighth grade and I go to the library, see it on a shelf, and I instantly make a grab for it. Even though my favori...more
At First Sight: Artemis has always been extremely close to her twin brother Apollo, only that lately they have been a bit at odds.
And now, Mount Olympus Academy is all a-buzz because of the Olympic Games, and Artemis would be excited too if not for the fact that, as a girl, she's not allowed to participate as the games are boy's only, which is simply not fair.
But Artemis is not one to suffer injustice quietly, so she and her friends Athena, Persephone and Aphrodite come up with a plan to right t...more

Artemis is upset that her twin brother and all the boys at Mount Olympus Academy get to compete in the Olympics while she can not. It's BOYS Only! She decides that it would only be fair for girls to compete as well, and takes action. I liked the lesson about making new friends, standing up for your opinions and being loyal doesn't mean being bossy. As a side story, we get the myth of Artemis and Actaeon, told much more innocently than the original. I am having so much fun with these book.
This is a really cute book. Although it is not the first in the series, it is not written in a way that you must read them in the order they are written. If you have a daughter that believes that girls can do anything a boy can do, this is the book for her. My daughter and I are reading these books together. This has been a great way for us to bond and talk about "girl stuff."
I'll confess, Artemis is my personal favourite of the Goddess Girls characters (the girl loves Aphrodite). So this one got high marks from me. Like all the Goddess Girls books, it's definitely worth a read (or two or three). One of the few series that we insist on having in the kid's personal collection vs. just borrowing at the library.
I agreed to read and review this one because my 8-year-old daughter LOVES this series! And that is good enough for me to like it. The story itself is clearly a MG story, and made me smile at the end.

I am currently reading Artemis the Loyal, and so far I am enjoying it.
It's about a girl name Artemis and her twim brother Appolo. There's an olympics and it's boys only. But Aremis thinks that it's unfair. So she talks to Zeus. What will Artemis do next??

Sometimes, all I need is a good skimmable book that I can semi-read while semi-watching television. Thumbs up for this series. (=
can't wait for the next installment in this series!
they should make a movie. if they do, i will play artemis
i liked the part when Apollo tricks the serpent.
not the best book that the author has writen.
Artemis has another crush?
So far, this is my favorite book in the series. One of the good things about this series is that you do not have to start reading the very first book to become acquainted with the characters. This was an easy and quick read. If you have a young reader that needs to keep up with their reading this is definitely a book to read.
Even though the story was a tad on the cheesy side and the obvious lesson was involved, the story was cute and fun. I really liked how it introduced the different mythological people and gave info on them. What a great way for younger people to learn mythology. I would definitely suggest this series to girls in the 8-12 age range.
