Goddess Girls Graphic Novel Series created by Joan Holub and Suanne Williams, adapted by David Campiti

Goddess Girls the series debuted in 2010 with great reviews. Girls everywhere loved the tween goddess girls as they navigate friendship, school, mean girls, and their natural goddess talents. Now the series is getting a facelift and is going graphic.

Goddess Girls is a good series to spark the attention of girls who are reluctant readers. Once they actually get in the books the story will carry them through with fun. For those readers who will dive into anything fun, this series is also a great option.

In Athena the Brain, Athena always knew she was smart, but she didn’t know she was a goddess. Now being swept up and enrolled in The Mount Olympus Academy, she worries about fitting in, a very relatable problem for tween girls.

In Persephone the Phony, Persephone usually just goes along with what everyone else wants to do instead of what makes her happy. But things change when she meets the Mount Olympus Academy bad boy, Hades. He is the first person who really understands her, so how bad can he be? Maybe, he is just misunderstood.

With the common use of mythology in pop culture, movies, video games, and tv shows, it’s a good bet that Goddess Girls will appeal to kids grades 3-6. But we could always consult with Tyche, the goddess of luck.
