About the book:
It's time for the annual Olympic Games, and the four goddessgirls are not happy--especially Artemis. Even though she's better at sports than most of the godboys, she can't compete because rules say the Games are boys-only. No fair!
Led by Artemis, Athena, Persephone and Aphrodite, the ladies of Mount Olympus hatch a plan to get Zeus to open up the games to everyone. Will they succeed--or end up watching from the sidelines again?

My daughter is STILL eating up your stories. She especially liked Artemis the Brave because she really wants to have that characteristic in herself. She's looking forward to getting the Aphrodite the Diva for Christmas because every girl has a little bit of wanna-be diva in her. I love that they have them in Scholastic Book Orders. Makes it so easy. You do such a great job of keeping all the characters so unique, modern, and historical.
I'm so glad, Jolene! You are so right that these goddesses in mythology have characteristics that we can each relate to. I love that Scholastic Book Clubs has included the GG series in their Arrow club as well.
Thank you so much for your lovely comment!
