Goddess Boot Camp

 GODDESS BOOT CAMP

By:  Tera Lynn Childs

FIRST SENTENCE

“I. Am. A. Goddess.”

SUMMARY
from goodreads

Phoebe, who recently discovered she’s a descendant of Nike (the goddess, not the shoe), is finding that supernatural powers come with a crazy learning curve.  Her stepfather, headmaster of the Academy for descendants of the Greek gods, has enrolled her at Dynamotheos Development Camp – aka Goddess Boot Camp – with a bunch of ten-year-olds for the summer.  Embarrassing as that is, hopefully it’ll help her gain control over her powers in time to pass the test of the gods, continue training hard enough to qualify for the Pythian Games, and enjoy her godly boyfriend, Griffin, all while avoiding the ultimate mistake of accidentally misusing powers.

It’s another fast-paced myth-inspired heroine’s quest that’s sure to bring out the goddess in anyone.

REVIEW

Phoebe may be a descendant of Nike, but she has a lot to learn when it comes to mastering her powers.  It’s not exactly a good thing to turn your living room into a beach and your parents’ bedroom into a winter wonderland.  All the silly situations that Phoebe got herself into were hilarious.

Speaking of powers, I loved learning more about all the powers that the classmates had.  Autoportation lets you to “move oneself to a different location through nonphysical means.”  Imagine the possibilities!

In this book, I felt like I was on the inside looking out rather than the other way around – just like Phoebe, as she began to feel as though she belonged.  She gained confidence with her powers and even entered the Pythian Games.  If only she were more confident when it came to Griffin.  Girl needs to learn to trust her man!

On the mysterious side, Phoebe finds herself on a wild goose chase to find her father’s trial documents.  You’ll be surprised by the final outcome – I know I was.

This girlie Greek goddess book will have you giggling and wishing you had some powers of your own.
