Reviews
Gr 3–7—After returning from their adventure in Olympus, Phoebe Katz and her friends have gone back to life as usual—except for the nightmares indicating something's wrong with Phoebe's birth family, and all the changes Damian has discovered to well-known Greek myths. The friends must find a way back to Olympus in order to fix everything before it's too late, again. But this time they'll have to contend with even more dangerous, vengeful enemies. This second installment in the "Legends of Olympus" storyline is sure to delight readers as much as the first. While Phoebe's continued feelings of anger and resentment cause plenty of conflict, along with unanswered questions of what makes a family, the story's resolution satisfies in a bittersweet way. Damian is dark-skinned, but all other characters present as white. VERDICT A recommended purchase, especially for libraries that already own the first title or where Greek mythology is popular.—Kaitlin Frick, Darien Lib., CT
