"This charming and brilliant novel is superbly plotted and will win over readers . . . Phoebe's voice is dead on and authentic, as are those of her friends. The author's masterful prose and style serve the story instead of merely taking center stage . . . This author and novel are ready for prime time and the big time." --Publishers Weekly, BookLife Prize Critic's Report

Things happen around Phoebe, but it's not like they're her fault But when a statue of Athena comes to life, Phoebe gets the stunning news she's the daughter of Zeus, has a twin brother named Perseus--and was sent away from ancient Greece as a baby to stop a terrible prophecy that predicted she would one day destroy Olympus.

The catch: Phoebe has to collect talismans from six Greek monsters, including the fang from a nine-headed hydra, a talon from the Nemean lion, and a feather from the sphinx.
