I loved exploring the different aspects and dynamics of the OMG world; the different powers and gods. The relationship between Stella and Phoebe has evolved and grown since Oh.My.Gods. Phoebe still doesn't fully trust Stella because of what happened, but Stella seems to genuinely care for her and when Phoebe realises that, they have a great relationship that consist of mostly ribbing each other in a good way.

Phoebe may be a descendant of Nike, but she has a lot to learn when it comes to mastering her powers. It’s not exactly a good thing to turn your living room into a beach and your parents’ bedroom into a winter wonderland. All the silly situations that Phoebe got herself into were hilarious.
Speaking of powers, I loved learning more about all the powers that the classmates had. Autoportation lets you to “move oneself to a different location through nonphysical means.” Imagine the possibiliti...more

After discovering the news that she wasn't a normal and that she was in fact descended from a Greek God life has been a challenging time , even worst is that her powers are out of control and her line of descendant is closer than most of the students at the school. She has discovered that she is in fact the Goddess Nike's Great-granddaughter which explains why she is good at cross -country . Yes the Nike brand was named after the Goddess of Victory . However trouble looms ahead in two situations...more
Goddess bootcamp definitely wasn't as good as the first book in this series, Oh. My. Gods. However, I did enjoy learning more about Phoebe, Stella, Griffin, and even Adara.
My favorite part in this book was definitely the scenes with Phoebe and Stella. We see how both of them actually care for one another. And we find out how Stella has her own crush she's pining for!
Daemon and Phoebe's mom were there, always supportive of Phoebe's uncontrollable powers.

So I decided to read this book because I read the first one, and I couldn't read the first one and not read the second one. I found that this book was more for a pre-teen because I found this kind of childish, but I did like it because of the mystical, magical, power, part of it. It's basically just the second part to the first book, "Oh.My.Gods" and it's about how Phoebe learns how to control her powers since she's the descendant of Nike, and I like it because it shows her thinking process from...more
Buku lanjutan dari Oh.My.Gods.
Setelah cukup berhasil beradaptasi dengan sekolahnya yang khusus bagi para keturunan dewa-dewi Yunani *bahkan dengan bonus berhasil pacaran dengan Griffin,si cowok idola*, cobaan bagi Pheobe ternyata belum berakhir. Pihak sekolah memutuskan bahwa Pheobe masih harus ikut summer camp untuk mengendalikan kekuatannya. Problem #1: semua peserta summer camp itu usianya tidak lebih dari 10 tahun.

Now that Phoebe knows that the goddess Nike is her great-grandmother, she has to figure out how to cope and control her super powers as being so close in ancestry to a goddess makes her stronger than most of the classmates that mocked her in the last series for being merely human. The joke's on them as hijinks ensue whenever Phoebe loses control of her powers (often) but then Phoebe is forced to attend Goddess Boot Camp with kids nearly half her age and counselors who are fellow classmates. Why...more
What fun was this book? I was a little skeptical because of the title. But, I went from Oh. My. Gods directly to this one and that is why there is one review. I have to go back to book 1 and put in a 5. It was a thoroughly enjoyable read. Yes, there was the typical teenage angst which totally rang true, but, there was also a deeper story there that deals with family and relationships and Tera Lynn Childs did a wonderful job capturing it from a teenage point-of-view. I have had step siblings befo...more
goddess boot camp carries on with the tradition of fluffy cuteness in oh. my. gods., dangling Greek mythology in front of me but it still dangles from afar. No high school frivolities that I love so much; instead, this takes place during summer break with fewer character appearances. The core group is present, but we barely see Phoebe's friends as we do her enemies (or not-so-favorite people). Can I mention that I cried like a silly schoolgirl when Griffin and Phoebe duked it out? :( I hate misu...more

After reading Oh.My.Gods I quickly started reading Goddess Boot Camp. It is the second book in the series and is written by one of my favorite authors for young adult books. I loved the first book in the series! The second book though just wasn't as great as the first.
I still loved this book, so don't get me wrong. I just felt it needed just a little bit more to it. I loved the witty dialogue that the author never fails to bring to the story. I loved each of the characters in the story as well....more

I liked Goddess Boot Camp a lot more than Oh My Gods, the first book in this series. In this one, the characters become more fully developed, situations are a lot less ridiculous, and it seems to flow smoother overall.

DO NOT READ THIS UNLESS YOU HAVE READ OH. MY. GODS.!!!!!
Phoebe made the team and got the man of her dreams, but things are far from perfect. Since Nike's her great-grandmother, her powers are very strong and a little (okay, a lot) out of control. The gods aren't happy about this and decide to test her. The problem is that she doesn't know when or where this test will be. Damien enrolls her in Goddess Boot Camp where she's stuck with Stella, Adara, and a herd of 10-year-olds all day. Along with t...more

While in the midst of controlling her out of control powers she has to train for Pyathian Games. So she is stuck in a house with her dreadful step sister who might just be the trick to getting her powers under control. While she has all her frien...more
Alright, another book by Tera Lynn Childs and I'm hoping many more to go! I loved Goddess Boot Camp just as much as Oh. My. Gods. and if you love the Percy Jackson series then you will love this series too! Straight up before I get into this review, it will be a babbler like the other one, just because that's how excited I am. But on with it.
I'm going to skip over doing a character summary since I did that in my Oh. My. Gods. review.

Phoebe is having a tough summer. Because she is only a few generations removed from Nike, her powers are very strong, and she does not yet have control over them, causing chaotic but often very funny accidents. She has only a few weeks to learn to control them before the gods will test her, with unknown results if she fails. She also has only a few weeks until the trials for the Pythian Games. Finally, she worries that she will unknowingly use her powers in one of her races, causing her to be sm...more
At first, I was just a little disappointed that this wasn't an audiobook. Yet. But then I was glad that it was available to read the old fashion way. I was glad to be able to continue Phoebe's story. I really loved her in the first and was glad to have a chance to see what happens after all the revelations of the last book.

Beach Read #3 - I loved Oh. My. Gods. so much when I read it recently, so I was pumped to see that the sequel had come out in paper back. It was great. Both of these books are quick, fast, and enjoyable reads. I raced through them and had so much fun.
Phoebe just found out in the last book that she is a descendant of Nike and has actual powers. The problem - she can't control them. Most kids at her special school for descendants of the gods learn about their powers and how to control them at a ve...more

Phoebe has adjusted to the knowledge that she's a descendant of the Greek goddess Nike, a hematheos to be exact. She's settled in at school on the remote Serfopoula Island, and is training with boyfriend and cross-country teammate Griffin for the trials of the Pythian Games. However, there is still one thing Phoebe doesn't have a handle on and that's her powers. Partly because she was so old when she discovered her connection and partly because she is only three generations removed from Nike. (m...more
It so happens that I'm really into Greek mythology so naturaly I read Goddess Boot Camp. I kind of mixed when it comes to this book. On one hand the begining was great in my opinion. The author mixes humor with drama in a very refreshing way. But I will admit that I was not a fan of the middle. I'm not sure what happened here whether the author just got bored or what I not really sure. This part of the book dragged like crazy! Nothing major happened, no new information was released. Basically Ph...more
Phoebe Castro has had nearly a year to come to terms with the fact that she's descended from the Greek goddess Nike, and while she has fully accepted the change, she still can't control her powers. Now, the gods are threatening her with a test, so her stepfather enrolls her in Goddess Boot Camp for the summer. Meanwhile, Phoebe, a long distance runner, is also training for the Pythian Games' trials with her boyfriend Griffin, and trying to control her jealousy when she sees him with his ex-girlf...more
I LOVE THIS BOOK TOO!!!
The first of this series was amazing but the seconds was just as good if not better. There were a couple things that were confusing but Childs cleared it all up in the end. These books deserve more popularity than they are getting.

I didn't like it at first because I had just finished reading the Percy Jackson series and these books/series have two completely different story lines. "Oh. My. Gods." doesn't have action and adventure like Percy Jackson but it has teen high school experiences as all of the characters are descendants of Greek gods and go to a special academy for in Greece. They have all have special powers and the main character who moves to Greece after her mom re-marries soon finds out her true heritage in th...more
I took a while to get around to writing a review to this book but here I am now!
When I read Oh. My. Gods. I was happy but not jumping up and down with joy. I thoroughly enjoyed that book too but this 1 was far better. Surprising, since this is the sequel.
Phoebe is without a doubt one of my favourite heroines ever. She made up for missing out on a great sale[since I gave up shopping for her]. This book had an added suspense angle because she has a blackmailer. And believe it or not, this Sherlock...more

So STELLA[Yes that Stella], her not so nice step sister helps her. Like REALLY helps her. And the test by the gods can come any time which is why Phoebe attend Goddess Boot Camp with 10-12 year olds.[Embarassing much?]
when it was explained and BTW, did you'll see what I did there???
I finished reading Goddess Boot Camp. "Adara is my friend. Until you helped me work through things with Nicole last year, she was my oldest friend. That's never going to change. Neither is the fact that you're my girlfriend." Griffen says. That quote is means that you can have different kinds of friends. This quote made me want to read more.

Much like the 1st book (Oh.My.Gods.) in this series, Goddess Boot Camp was a very light and fun read. All the key components that make this series great were back and in full effect. The cool cast of characters (who ended up revealing much more of themselves) were still fantastic, we got more of the mythology, and some new twists and turns were thrown into the mix that I definitely did not see coming at all!

I actually liked this one more than the first book. Phoebe isn't such a brat and I liked the drama going on between Adara, Griffin, and Phoebe; it makes Phoebe seem less bratty and shows more emotion on her part. Also, as much as I liked Adara as a total jerk, I like her as a nice person. Who knows? Maybe she and Phoebe might become friends in the next book or so? I hope that happens with Stella at least. Stella has always been one of my favorite characters.
