My strong opinion about literature: Middle grade books are some of the most exciting and imaginative books.
I absolutely adore Goddess Girls! This series is sweet and packed full of incredible greek mythology references. I would have LOVED these books as a middle grader and probably would have needed every single book to be read at least five times over, in order. I was that kind of kid. What can I say?
Artemis the Brave sees our mighty hero Artemis take the lead! Her and her fellow Goddess Girls are just surviving through school, and trying to survive Beastology 101. They have to save themselves from monsters! Tough class! When they get back from school, Artemis runs into the new boy as school - Orion. Rumours have it, he's not a god... he's mortal! And Artemis is having her first crush on the Drama King! She even babysits his dog, Sirius (my favourite reference, by the way). Will Artemis get over her crush? Will her crush like her back? Will Artemis and Apollo be able to win their archery competition? There's so much drama when you are a teenaged goddess.
I had so much fun with this book! I binged it and was smiling the whole time. There's just something great about a fun and stress free middle grade read. I can easily seeing young middle graders having a great time reading the books. There's not high stakes, it's a light read, and there's tons of jokes and fun in it. I remember when I was that age and I was obsessed with Greek mythology...
Overall, fantastic book! I'm trying to find all of these books out in the wild. Wish me luck!
Four out of five stars.
