Goddess Girls 7: Artemis the Loyal ~ Lunar Love blog hop!

Welcome to my giveaway in the Lunar Love blog hop!

Two first prize winners will be chosen to receive:

An autographed copy of
our tween/MG book about the Greek goddessgirl of the moon!

Goddess Girls 7: Artemis the Loyal.

 The Goddess Girls series, which I co-author with Suzanne Williams, 

takes place at Mount Olympus Academy, 

and puts a modern spin on classic Greek myths.

Aladdin paperbacks 
ages 8 ~ 12. 

About Artemis the Loyal:

It's time for the annual Olympic Games, and the 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! Can the goddessgirls hatch a plan to get Zeus to open up the games to everyone? Or will they end up watching from the sidelines again?

“…a clever take on Greek deities…” ~ Booklist

"Readers familiar with Greek myths should get a kick out of this plucky restaging."  ~Publisher's Weekly

 “…an enchanting mythological world with middle-school woes compounded by life as a deity…” ~ School Library Journal
