Vivid and exciting, this graphic novel is a worthy new interpretation of Homer's epic.\"--Rick Riordan, author of the Percy Jackson \u0026amp; the Olympians series \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFresh from his triumphs in the Trojan War, Odysseus, King of Ithaca, wants nothing more than to return home to his family. Instead, he offends the sea god, Poseidon, who dooms him to years of shipwreck and wandering. Battling man-eating monsters, violent storms, and the supernatural seductions of sirens and sorceresses, Odysseus will need all his strength and cunning--and a little help from Mount Olympus--to make his way home and seize his kingdom from the schemers who seek to wed his queen and usurp his throne. Award-winning graphic artist Gareth Hinds masterfully reinterprets a story of heroism, adventure, and high action that has been told and retold for more than 2,500 years--though never quite like this.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Candlewick Press (MA)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/12\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780763642662\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.52lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.70h x 7.05w x 1.02d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/06\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/15\/2010 pg. 56\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eHorn Book Magazine\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2010 pg. 115\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2010 pg. 145\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBulletin of Ctr for Child Bks\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2011 - Book Of Special Distinction\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eVoice of Youth Advocates\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2011 - Recommended - Better Than Most\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eHornbook Guide to Children\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2011 pg. 179\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader Quiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e139490 \/ Odyssey\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 5.1 \/ \u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Middle Grade Plus \/ \u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 3\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Gareth Hinds","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42916999069877,"sku":"9780763642662","price":23.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_02aaf99d-0848-43b6-baff-870e4f49d42d.jpg?v=1687275246","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-odyssey-9780763642662","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
