Goddess Girls

I just finished Athena the Wise (book 5) by Joan Holub.  It's based on the Greek Olympus Gods, but when they're young and in training.  I really liked it!  Ms. Milton was looking for a good read aloud last year and I'm going to suggest this series to her.

What suggestions do you have for some good class novel readings?

The above links are to Novelist - check out the Goddess Girls series and much, much more.  You may need to use the user names and passwords I gave to you at the beginning of Sept., 2012.  The stickers with the information are on the inside cover of your agenda.  Otherwise, email me and I'll help you out.  Summer well wishes to you, Ms. M.
