Echo the Copycat (Goddess Girls)
By Joan Holub, Suzanne Williams
Echo is a forest-mountain nymph and the new girl at Mount Olympus Academy. She is a little nervous, so she tries to mimic all of the gestures, expressions, and slang of the cool MOA students. While imitation is supposed to be the best form of flattery, Echo’s chattiness doesn’t exactly endear her to her fellow classmates—in fact, it has the opposite effect! Will she be able to find a way to be herself and become friends with the students around her?

The new mortal boy Orpheus has swept the entire girl population in Mount Olympus Academy off their feet!

He knows that once you go into the Underworld, you never come out. Persephone's dating Hades, and, seeing Orpheus so dismal, she tries to help Orpheus lead Eurydice out of the Underworld. But can helping another romantic relationship break her own? Fast-paced and fun, this is one of my favorite Goddess Girls books in the series!
Aphrodite the Diva (Goddess Girls)
By Joan Holub, Suzanne Williams
Aphrodite has always been, without a doubt, the Greek goddess of love and beauty. And she looks the part too; with her long, flowing blond hair, crystal-clear blue eyes, and impeccable fashion style, she's bombarded with compliments this way and that. But when Aphrodite visits Egypt, she comes face-to-face with her stiffest competition yet (though that's not saying much since she's never had competition before in the first place): Isis, the Egyptian goddess of love and beauty. Exotic, regal, and coveted, Isis clearly gives Aphrodite a run for her money. The two goddessgirls are desperate to face off once and for all to see who can claim the true spot of "the goddess of love and beauty." So, while strolling through the mortal realm, they find a worthy trial: Pygmalion, a bitter middle-aged man who refuses to even look at the girls in the agora. But there's more than what meets the eye. As Isis and Aphrodite race to find Pygmalion's perfect girl, Aphrodite finds out the missing puzzle piece of Pyg's story, but can she still pull through or will she sacrifice her spot as "the love goddess" for Pygmalion's true love of his life? Exciting, sweet, and fast-paced, this has long since been one of my favorite books of all time!
Artemis the Brave (Goddess Girls)
By Joan Holub, Suzanne Williams
This book was awesome. I already was a Greek geek but still this book was awesome! The book is about goddess' in their child part life when they are in an academy. The main character in this book is Artemis, goddess of the hunt and the moon. She starts liking this new mortal in her school. His name is Orion. This is Artemis' first crush. She keeps on trying to make him like her and turns out he kinda does . Turns out he was trying to use her as an advantage to get win. When she finally realizes that, she pulls a prank on him. Read the book to find out about the prank. This book is just always awesome. They have a series about them but not just Artemis. There's Athena, Artemis, Aphrodite, and Persephone. Even though most of the facts aren't true the author is still cool. (The author is making a lot of the facts not true about Greek myths because I think she wants to minimize the violence.) The only problem is it is too girly. They should make a boy series and call it God-boys or something. Still READ it. It is so worth reading for!!!

Half Magic (Tales of Magic)
By Edward Eager
This book is halfway to overflowing with magic. Say anything while holding the magic charm from this book and you will get precisely half of what you wished for. The book starts off with Four children living in a poor town, and one of them finds a quarter on the sidewalk, and picks it up. It turns out to be a magic charm, a charm that splits whatever you wish precisely in half. Then the children go on all sorts of crazy adventures. From knights to a talking cat, their story just keeps getting crazier. This book is quite good, and I really enjoyed it. I would recommend to readers in fourth, fifth, and maby sixth grade.
