Ever think you were having a bad senior year? Imagine you are the star of your schools cross country team and have a guarenteed full ride to USC, when your mom suddenly comes home from a vacation and announces you have to move to Greece. This is Phoebe Castro’s life, except to make it even worse, she is the only one at her new super private school run by her new step dad who is not a child of a greek god or goddess. Despite her differences she overcomes many odds against her and discovers in the end she wasn’t so much different from the rest of them, and finds her place not only the cross country team, but her crazy new school as well. Tera Lynn Childs takes a typical crush to a whole new level in this fastpaced novel. The story of Phoebe’s life is unique and exciting with a twist of humor tied in it as well, however, the book is a very quick and easy read, aimed more towards middle schoolers than high school students. Despite it being an easy, read, it is very interesting and teaches the reader about mythology in a new exciting way. - Brittany P., class of 2012
