This was a really cute story! I think that these books are a great way to get kids interested in Greek Mythology without getting bogged down by a lot of details that may bore kids. I will defintely be reading more of this series!

I liked this book a lot for the themes it talked about (being true to yourself, being honest with those you care about, don't judge others when you don't know all the facts), BUT I could not bring myself to give it a 5 star because I've read Joan Holub's younger series, Heroes in Training. While this might seem like nitpicking, the Heroes in Training series is a lot closer to the origin myths in Greek Mythology. This series is very cute (and some of the classes sound awesome, Hero-ology anyone?), but in this book Hades and Poseidon are godboys at school while Zeus is the principal - I just can't get past the fact that they are supposed to be SIBLINGS (which has so far not been mentioned).
So far, there has been no mention of Cronos or the Titans; yet, a lot of minor characters in mythology have appeared (Pandora, Medusa, etc.). It's fun and light, but I have to make the mythology side of my brain settle down and not point out all the problems while I read.
Still going to read the next book though!

Ok, I think I liked this book even more than the first one. This is my third time reading this book in my most recent reread and I enjoyed it a lot! Persephone is a relatable, fun main character and I enjoyed her pov this book. These books are just so quick and easy and fun and I am really enjoying them. I’m this one we get a little more romance and maturity but it still had the same young feel and while the morals maybe aren’t the best for impressionable younger readers compared to the first book, it still has great messages and the mythology is still great. Highly recommend for younger readers or older readers looking to sit back and relax with a fun, simplistic book and learn about Greek mythology

It suited the age group this is aimed for. I would have enjoyed when I was a child.

Second in the Goddess Girls series. Was it as good as the first? Yes. Was it better? Can't say really. It was really good in it's own way. Because it did change main character to Persephone. She was interesting. They also introduced Hades. Loved him. The story was pretty good. School drama, got to love it.

This book is amazing, but I like the first one and the third ones better. I hope to read more from this series soon.

Early Middle Grade book for kids who like school drama and Greek mythology. Perfect for that child. Nothing scary or too intense.
