This book is an adorable middle grade series that spins up some new and exciting stories about everyone's favourite Greek gods and goddesses.
Persephone is friends with the other goddesses, but she always finds herself presenting in a way that makes everyone else happy. Her Mom is also uber strict, which is super annoying. She meets Hades, and finds herself a new friend that she doesn't have to pretend around. The two bond, but her friends and Mom think he's trouble. Persephone will learn the values of being herself in this wonderful read.
This series is a delight and I now need to read every single book. It's positive, teaches morals and good lessons, and puts a super fun spin on Greek mythology. I highly recommend this super incredible series if you're looking for a middle grade book to get hooked on.
Four out of five stars.

I didn't think I would like it, but I did. I didn't know who Persephone was, so I learned a little about her. She likes this boy named Hades. He is the god of the underworld. I feel bad for Persephone because she has to act differently around her friends. I also feel bad for her because she has to live at home instead of in a dorm room. I still can't believe that she ran awayc

Not a big fan of Hades/Seph storylines tbh. But this was of decent goodness.

Goddess Girls, books 1-3 (Athena the Brain, Persephone the Phony, and Aphrodite the Beauty)
Not quite my cup of tea, but I can see the appeal for tween girls. I'm a sucker for myth and fairytale retellings, and I enjoyed the mythology aspect of the story. Lots of focus on friendships and first crushes--think Sweet Valley High set on Mount Olympus.

Che carina questa serie!!! Questo secondo libro è stato persino più bello del primo, anche se forse sono un po' di parte perchè Ade e Persefone sono i miei dei greci preferiti.
