The Myth of Monsters, Book 2
Written by Katherine Marsh
The Gods’ Revenge is book two in The Myth of Monsters series. After the adventures of book one, Ava is ready to take on her second year. If it weren’t for the new headmaster, Perseus. He’s harboring a secret agenda, and that includes making Ava’s life miserable as she and her friends are trying to dig deeper into the truth behind the Greek monsters. Not only is Ava more prepared than she was her first year, the Gods are, too.
It is an exciting adventure from beginning to end and holds more Greek myth goodness with known and little-known mythology tidbits to discover along the way. Ava is a character to root for as she does her best to steer school life and her own desire to do what’s right. She makes mistakes and learns as she goes along. Luckily, she has true friends at her side, who are ready to help out. Although, Ava definitely takes the driver’s seat in this tale and has a lot to overcome.
This book series is all about girl power, but in many ways will appeal to both boys and girls alike. With its small page count and short cliffhanger chapters, I am hopeful these books will appeal to my younger middle grade reader. If you have students that enjoy adventure and mythology stories, this series will be a great addition to your library.
