Pandora Atheneus Andromaeche Helena (or Pandy, for short) has something really good for her school project on the gods: a mysterious box given to her father by Zeus himself. Pandy knows the bow is full of something so terrifying that it must never be opened...but it's so much cooler than showing her dads liver in a jar (again).

Of course, before she realizes it seven kinds...more

In the times of ancient Greece, humans worshipped the Gods of Olympus. But there came a time when Zeus grew angry that humans weren't as reverent of the gods as they should be. And so, he took fire from the earth as punishment, plunging the earth into darkness. The Titan, Prometheus, took pity on man. He stole the fire from Mt. Olympus and returned it to earth.

In the times of ancient Greece, humans worshipped the Gods of Olympus. But there came a time when Zeus grew angry that humans weren't as reverent of the gods as they should be. And so, he took fire from the earth as punishment, plunging the earth into darkness. The Titan, Prometheus, took pity on man. He stole the fire from Mt. Olympus and returned it to earth. For his actions, Prometheus suffered many punishments. One of them was a box that Prometheus was condemned to care for. Inside the box the gods had placed evils and plagues that should never be unleashed on the earth or they would cause unbearable anguish. Along with the plagues, Athena placed one gift; Hope. The box was sealed and Prometheus took it into his care. "Prometheus was tormented and troubled. And then he married. And then he had a daughter. And then...she turned thirteen."

Pandora Atheneus Andromaeche Helena, "Pandy" to her friends, is the only daughter of the Titan, Prometheus. She has just turned thirteen and is officially a "maiden" now. The problem is, her life is so boring. While there are people all over Greece doing wonderful, heroic things, Pandy and her friends Iole and Alcie are still in school. To make matters worse, a big project is due. Pandy must find a way to show the presence of the gods in everyday life. She knows she has to come up with something amazing this year. And then, Pandy finds a box that belongs to her father; the one that he has been entrusted with. It couldn't hurt to borrow it for just a little while, right?

After Pandy's project, the box opens, unleashing all of the evils into the world. Pandy manages to close the box before the last item escapes. Hope is left, trapped in the box. Now Zeus has told Pandy that she must find each plague and return it to the box. It is a task she must complete without the help of her father. To make matters worse, Hera has it in for Pandy. None of the gods would dare defy Hera to help Pandy, would they? So, Pandy sets out, her two best friends at her side, to rescue mankind from the doom that has engulfed it. Her first task is to find Jealousy, and return it to the box. Pandy has a time limit in which to rid the world of these evils. Is there any way a maiden can accomplish such a daunting task?

PANDORA GETS JEALOUS is a funny, entertaining look at a familiar Greek tale. The characters are very modern and down-to-earth, including the gods who bicker like siblings. The first book in a series, PANDORA GETS JEALOUS introduces readers to a character and an adventure that they are sure to look forward to for many books to come! (less)

Pandora, daughter of Prometheus, is at that uncomfortable stage where she is officially a young maiden, but really she's flighty, moody, and irresponsible - generally an annoying 12-yr-old. She's got a big project due, and in last-minute desperation she takes her father's box of evils to show the school. The class "ins" tease her into letting them touch it, opening it on accident. As punishment, Zeus commands Pandora to gather all of the evils back into the box or her whole family will be cast i...more

I only picked this book up because I was bored, out of books on hand that I could read, and it looked like it had to do with Greek mythology. See, I never really liked the Greek tale of Pandora too much - way too overused, Pandora is a dumb name, and there was just NOT ENOUGH HERMES.

Pandora is the daughter of the Titan Prometheus and a woman who is not famous for anything that I can think of named, Sybilline. She is very vain and selfish and while she like her youngest son she really treats Pandy like the red headed step-child even though Xander is the one who was born with a peacock tail. She is thirteen and is in that stage where everything is wrong with her and she has just wants to impress her classmates and stay out of trouble with her teacher. This is exactly what gets her into trouble in the end. Her entire school is participating in an event where they show "What Have the Gods Done for You Lately?" And her teacher expects them to bring something that will wow the judges or else they will be forced to clean her nails. So she decides to bring the box that her father had forbidden her to touch with the promise to bring it back immediately afterward. Yeah, right.

So I was really annoyed in the beginning that Pandora got in trouble so much when technically she is not the one to open the box but .... and .... who really opened the box.

Alcie and Iole grow on me as the story progresses because of their personalities. While Alcie is very outspoken whether it is a byproduct of what happened by being near the box when it opened or it is her natural personality Iole is the very different but smart as well as a year younger than both Pandora and Alcie. My favorite character so far is a tie between Pandora's dog Dido and Hephaestus. Why? Well Dido is adorable and funny and Hephaestus is so cute when he gets flustered when Pandora kisses him on the cheek.

On the down side the book has a lot of language that sounds as if it is trying really hard to make the book feel as if is was set in the past but only bugged me. Really badly.

ex. "I love you, Dad. Big-time phileo."
"Me you more, my daughter," he said.

I did not like this. I get that Carolyn is trying to make it seem a little authentic but I thought that she did not need to just murder grammar while she did it. The story also had a Flintstone feel to it because the book used too much 2008 concepts and covered it up barely by changing the names. While I was really bugged by these things I was however able to ignore them because I really wanted to know what happened in the end. Finally while the book is about jealously Pandora only really felt the full extent of the escaped plague for barely a page long.

Oh, wait one more thing: Why did she ignore Persephone? She is a goddess and she is Hades' wife and yet she is never mentioned except for in the glossary. As my favorite goddess I was super disappointed there.(less)

I probably would've enjoyed this a lot more had it been a bit more serious, or geared towards an older crowd. Instead, it seems like a tween chick-lit answer to Percy Jackson, cashing in on its fame.

The dialogue of this book was probably the most aggravating part for me, but it was (like, totally) a short enough read, so I didn't suffer through it for long. I picked it up simply because it sounded like an interesting take on Pandora's Box.

I'm a fan of the author, who plays Diane on General Hospital and Barb on Cougar Town, among other things. She's a smart, funny, strong and cool lady, so I went into this expecting good things.

This is a book for tweens. If you are not between 8 and 12, you must read the book keeping in mind the target audience to appreciate it. It's light and funny with lots of adventure and lessons in history, mythology, social skills and morality thrown in. It is not Percy Jackson for girls (and Percy Jackson is as much for girls as boys, by the way). Yes, the foundation of the story is mythological. Yes, the main character and her 2 friends have to save the world. But every story for kids is about children taking on great responsibility, usually with the help of a few good friends.

I like Pandora a lot. I think that most girls would identify with her. She has an annoying little brother, a mom who works too much, a lot of stress over school and homework, and a crush on the cutest boy in the world. She wants desperately to be grown up until grown-up responsibilities land on her shoulders, when she realizes being a girl might not have been so bad. But she shoulders the responsibilities and does her best to make up for her mistakes and save the world and her family. Basically, this is a new entry in the tradition of myths about heroes, children of the gods sent on daring adventures and learning major lessons, while teaching them as well. And this hero is a girl! That fact is deeply satisfying to those of us who read mythology as a kid and were disappointed that the girls were always the victims or minor players at best.

The book is quick and light, but has a lot of fun elements. The mythological references are often humorous in an attempt to relate them to our modern world, such as the conch shells they use to communicate over a distance being set on vibrate for silence and not working well in the mountains due to interference. There are a few lines thrown in that are probably there to be appreciated by grown-up reading the books with their kids, like some things about Zeus and women, or between the father and mother about their marriage. Most of all, it's a great adventure story that also teaches kids a lot about friendships, making good choices, and mythology.(less)

After being taunted by classmates she opens the box and releases many plagues upon the earth, but not hope, which is left in the box. Due to her carelessness, the gods sentence her to hunting down all the plagues and capturing them in the box. Even though the gods are not allowed, they find small ways to help her al...more

The genre is mythology and fiction.

Thirteen year old Pandora, the daughter of the house of Prometheus opened a box releasing all the evils into the world. She is called before Zeus, who gives her only six months to gather all the evils up. Hera is out to harm Pandy because she beat her great-granddaughter in a competition. She is making Pandy’s journey really hard. She gave her a map but it is really hard to decipher and only works when you cry on it. All of the other goddesses and most of the gods, not Zeus or Hades, are helping Pandy and her friends in almost any way they can throughout the journey. Pandy captures jealousy in the deepest form and is on her way to Alexandria to capture vanity.
The theme of the story is to think hard before you act. Pandy did not think about she was doing before she acted so know she is on this journey throughout the world capture all the evils she let free. Hera makes it really difficult for her. If Pandy had only thought of what could have happened if the box was opened and how it could have changed the lives of everyone on the world, then none of this would have happened and the world would be a much better place. When Pandy thought first, and then decided to help the old lady who was Athena in disguise she was rewarded greatly. She got a net that can hold anything, a marble that can contact Athena and plentiful food. Also when Iole thought about what Zeus told Pandy and her family she found out that she and Alcie technically could help Pandy. You should always think before you act.
I really enjoyed this book. I think that the age group for this book would be children to young adults. The writing style of this book is confusing. The point of view is third person omniscient. This book is different from most books I read because it is an adventure that takes place in Greek mythology. I have read books based on Greek mythology before but most of them are very different. “I have to … to …think. Should I …open it? No ... there might be something else besides Hope … another evil. Better not take a … a … chance. I have to think!” This quote on page 75 proves my theme because Pandy knows she should have thought first.
I really liked this book because Pandy is about my age and I would do similar things that she does. The book has made me want to read the rest of the series. I want to read more books based on mythology also. The book affects me because the theme makes me think before I act. I enjoyed this book because it took me on an adventure.

She recently won the Ovation Award for her work in “The Fan Maroo” (Theatre of NOTE) and was an NAACP Award nominee for her ensemble work in “Uncle Tom’s Cabin” (Sacred Fools).

Notable theatre credits include: the long running and critically acclaimed “It’s Just Sex” (Zephyr Theatre), “Equinox” (Odyssey Theatre), “Two Rooms” (Santa Barbara Theatre Company), “View of the Dome” (Egyptian Arena Stage), “Tongue of a Bird” and “Nothing Sacred” (Mark Taper Forum), “The Heidi Chronicles” (Arizona Theatre Company), “Dangerous Liaisons,” “Julius Caesar,” and “The Lion In Winter” (Knightsbridge), and her one-woman show “Carolyn Hennesy’s Big Leap” (HBO Workspace). Films include “Terminator 3,” “Legally Blonde 2: Red, White and Blonde,” “The Cougar Club,” “Sublime,” “the Believers” and “Click”.

Television work includes many regular, guest star and recurring roles in everything from episodics to sit-coms, but she can now regularly be seen on ABC’s daytime drama “General Hospital” in the role of “Diane Miller,” Port Charles’ smart and sassy mob lawyer. In addition to a full-time acting career, Carolyn is also an author, proud shop-a-holic, unabashed foodie, teaches improvisational comedy, speaks American Sign Language (fairly well!) and studies the flying trapeze.

But more important than any of this: she is the fabulously happy new wife of actor Donald Agnelli.(less)
