Artemis the Loyal - (Goddess Girls) by Joan Holub & Suzanne Williams

About the Book

Athena, Aphrodite, Persephone, and Artemis--and the other MOA goddess girls--are not happy that the upcoming Olympic Games are for godboys only. The four main goddess girls rally up support--and come up with a plan to take their rightful place in the Olympic arena.

Book Synopsis

It's time for the annual Olympic Games, and the four goddessgirls are not happy! It's boys only--and the girls at MOA are not pleased.

Led by Artemis, Athena, Persphone and Aphrodite, the ladies of Mount Olympus hatch a plan to get Zeus to open up the games to everyone. Will they succeed--or end up watching from the sidelines again?

These classic myths from the Greek pantheon are given a modern twist that contemporary tweens can relate to, from dealing with bullies like Medusa to a first crush on an unlikely boy. Goddess Girls follows four goddesses-in-training - Athena, Persephone, Aphrodite, and Artemis - as they navigate the ins and outs of divine social life at Mount Olympus Academy, where the most priviledged gods and goddesses of the Greek pantheon hone their mythical skills.
