Congratulations to Deb K! She is the very lucky goddess that has been selected by the random sequence generator at random.org to win a a set of the first three books in the Goddess Girls series.
Deb K said: This looks like a great series of books for girls~I would love to win for my granddaughter.
Special Mentions:
Annmarie W. said: This looks like such a wonderful series, where girls can learn about themselves & others. It’s nice to have the inspiration of goddesses, and see that human qualities transcend the ages and that we all have human feelings & emotions!
Grutmorg said: My great-niece is a very wise and brainy Athena. Her grandfather – my brother – suggested the name to his daughter who thought it was perfect for this bright-eyed first grandchild. He has tried somewhat unsuccessfully to interest her in Greek and Roman myths. These look like books that Athena and her grandpa can share and enjoy.
For those of you who were not so lucky, you can still add these books to your collection:
Goddess Girls #1: 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!
Goddess Girls #2: 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.
“The authors intertwine an enchanting mythological world with middle-school woes compounded by life as a deity or blessed mortal. The books should be popular with fans of girly, light fantasy.”
~ School Library Journal 4/1/2010
Goddess Girls #3: Aphrodite the Beauty
Sure Aphrodite is beautiful, but being the goddessgirl of love is not always easy. Though others think she’s an expert on boy-girl relationships, they’re often just as confusing to her as to anyone else. And she certainly never thought she’d find herself jealous of one of her best friends!
Goddess Girls #4: Artemis the Brave
Releases December 7, 2010, and Books 5 and 6 are in the works!
