“…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

Athena the Brain Finding out she’s a goddess and being sent to Mount Olympus brings Athena new friends, a weird dad, and the meanest girl in mythology—Medusa!

Persephone the Phony Hiding her feelings works fine for Persephone until she meets a guy she can be herself with—Hades, the bad-boy of the Underworld.

Aphrodite the Beauty Sure Aphrodite is beautiful, but it’s not always easy being the goddessgirl of love.

Artemis the Brave She may be the goddess of the hunt, but that doesn’t mean Artemis always feels brave.
Athena the Wise Zeus says Heracles has to do twelve tasks or he'll get kicked out of MOA! Although she's not sure it's wise, Athena agrees to help out.

Aphrodite the Diva Isis claims she's the goddess of love? Ha! But to keep the title all to herself, Aphrodite has to find the perfect match for Pygmalion, the most annoying boy ever.

Artemis the Loyal  It’s time for the annual Olympic Games, and Artemis and her friends are not happy. It’s boys only.  Not fair! (Dec.6, 2011)

NEW! Medusa the Mean Medusa wants to be more like her two sisters and the other kids at Mount Olympus Academy -- immortal. Is that too much to ask?  (Apr. 2012)

Goddess Girls Around the World

British Commonwealth covers for Goddess Girls 1 - 4

What fun! Little, Brown in London has licensed rights to reprint the first four Goddess Girls books in the British Commonwealth. Here's a peek at the re-lllustrated covers.

Translations of books in the Goddess Girls series will also soon be available in Germany, Greece, Turkey, and South Korea.

Goddess Girls at Barnes & Noble

What an awesome group of readers turned out at Barnes & Noble in NC last night! We talked about the Goddess Girls series and I got some great questions, such as: "What was your inspiration?" from Lilly. Then it was craft time and we made Goddess Girl bracelets and necklaces. Plus Zero the Hero masks. So fun!

One Zero the Hero mask for a girl. One mask for Hello Kitty.
