Athena the Wise by Joan Holub, Suzanne Williams

5.0

Athena is the goddess of wisdom but doesn’t always feel wise. One day at lunch, Artemis and her friends, Aphrodite, Persephone, and Artemis, see a new mortal at their school. Mortals normally don’t come to Mount Olympus Academy. Heracles is very strong for a mortal and is often wearing lion’s skin and carrying a club.

Athena decides to introducer herself but is interrupted when she gets called to go to the principal’s office, Zeus, who happens to be her father. Zeus tells Athena that he needs her to look out for Heracles. Athena’s not sure how she’s going to help him. Luckily, she has Revengeology class with him. She finds out he has to complete 12 labors and tells him that she will help him.

As she helps him with his labors, she finds herself liking him. She’s iffy about her feelings because of how everything worked out with Artemis and Orion. Heracles seems to like her. He never asks other godboys to help him with his labors and always turns them down if they ask to help.

I have loved all of the books in this series so far. The further along this series goes the longer the books are, which is a major plus. I hope that they will be a lot more in this series.
