Athena: Goddess of Wisdom and War
by Imogen Greenberg
Thank you to #NetGalley and Abrams Kids for allowing me the opportunity to read a digital ARC of Athena: Goddess of Wisdom and War by Imogen and Isabel Greenberg. This middle grades graphic novel will be released in June 2021. All opinions are my own.
This graphic novel focuses on the Greek Goddess, Athena. It begins with the story of her birth which is followed by a series of stories that prominently feature her including the stories of Arachne, Perseus, Paris, and Odysseus. This is a super fun and interesting way to introduce younger readers to Greek mythology. Many MG readers love graphic novels making it the perfect format to introduce these myths in an accessible way. The illustrations are fun and highlight the stories. The book is an odd combination of story and graphic novel. Elements of it are narrated and written like a story only to be interrupted by comic strip panels and larger illustrations. I think this book would be a great way to introduce upper elementary students to mythology.
