Although part of the “Young Heroes” series, this book can be read as a stand alone book. This book was an enjoyable read about a young teen heroine from a mythological Greek setting. I have enjoyed and trusted Jane Yolen’s work for years and I am sure the whole series is very good. I recommend it for young readers and all readers.

This is a junior fiction that my daughter made me read (Mom, you HAVE to read this!). It started out kind of painfully but quickly turned into an interesting adventure. The girl in it reminded me of Katniss, who I love, so that was definately fun. I love tough girls!

Part of a 4-book series that covers part of the lives of famous Classic heroes and heroines before they were grown up. The authors researched appropriate settings and supporting characters in creating these prequels to familiar myths. The books are engaging and the heroes & heroines are appealing. Like Rick Riordan's Percy Jackson series, this series will interest young readers in Classical Mythology. Fun books to read.
