Athena has been always beyond beyond. She has been mastering her grades and getting A's in every subject down in Earth. She never thought that: 1 She is goddess and is in the heavens entering a god school. 2 Her dad is Zeus and he is the principal of Athena's god school. 3 She will make friends at the new school, but there are 2 more problems. 1 She is scared and nervous that she might fit in the new school. 2 She has to deal with the baddest and meanest girl in history- Medusa! Read this book to see how Athena takes care of her problems and how she takes care of the bad girl, Medusa.
I loved this book because it talked about mythology (gods and goddess)and made me feel like a goddess at that moment when I was reading the book. My favorite part was when Medusa turned into stone because she keeps playing mean tricks on eveyone in school except the teachers and the principal- Zeus and she deserved it. I liked the character Athena because she has a kind heart and does not always talk about herself and brag about her grades. She sounds like me. I do not like the character Medusa because she is mean and does not treat others how they want to be treated.
I highly recommend this book to 3rd and 4th graders who like mythology which is gods and goddess. You should read this book because it is very entertaining and good.
