Not one to count on the gods&#8212;or her looks&#8212;to take care of her, Helen sets out to get what she wants with steely determination and a sassy attitude. That same attitude makes Helen a few enemies&#8212;such as the self-proclaimed "son of Zeus" Theseus&#8212;but it also intrigues, charms, and amuses those who become her friends, from the famed huntress Atalanta to the young priestess who is the Oracle of Delphi.<br><br>In <i>Nobody's Princess, </i>author Esther Friesner deftly weaves together history and myth as she takes a new look at the girl who will become Helen of Troy. The resulting story offers up adventure, humor, and a fresh and engaging heroine you cannot help but root for. 1639319 24 4 2007 Nobody's Princess total:1076|5:280|4:356|3:334|2:92|1:14| 1076 4024 1913 228 0 5 false false Thu Nov 27 19:08:50 -0800 2008 Thu Nov 27 19:09:58 -0800 2008
