FIRST SENTENCE

“When I’m running I can almost feel my dad at my side.”

SUMMARY
from goodreads

When Phoebe’s mom returns from Greece with a new husband and moves them to an island in the Aegean, Phoebe’s plans for her senior year and track season are ancient history.  Now she must attend the uber excusive academy, where admission depends on pedigree, namely, ancestry from Zeus, Hera, and other Greek gods.  That’s right, they’re real, not myth, and their teen descendants are like the classical heroes – supersmart and superbeautiful with a few superpowers.  And now they’re on the track team!  Armed only with her Nikes and the will to win, Phoebe races to find her place among the gods.

REVIEW

I am glad I read this book at home.  Want to know why?  Because I was laughing out loud so many times that anyone seeing me reading it would have thought I was CRAZY.  Tera Lynn Childs has such an awesome sense of humor.

One of my favorite things about this book is that I could relate the characters to the gods they were descendants of. Oh, and I loved the superpowers that all the kids had.  They could do things like create fireworks, change class schedules, and pass magical secret notes in class. 

Phoebe is all about running, but she also makes time for her family and friends.  Having to move across the world and make new friends in high school had to be tough.  I can see why Phoebe did some complaining at first.  She put her best foot forward though and made the best of things.  She even sparked a romance with Griffin, the cute jock from school. 

I have never met a book about Greek gods that I did not like.  Oh. My. Gods. gets my vote as the cutest of them all.
