Ilustration In Pursuance Of Books Pandora Gets Jealous (Mythic Misadventures #1)
13-year-old Pandora Atheneus Andromaeche Helena (or Pandy, for short) has no idea what she’ll bring for her school project. By accident she discovers a simple box, said to contain something so terrifying and horrible that no one must ever, ever touch it for fear of inflicting all of mankind with the wrath of the Gods and Goddesses. This, of course, makes the box the perfect thing for Pandora to bring for her school project. Unfortunately, things don’t go quite the way she was hoping, and the box accidentally gets opened, unleashing all kinds of evil and misery into the world. Hauled before Zeus, Hera and the rest of immortals, Pandy’s given the task of collecting all the evils within a year’s time.

A caveat up front: I was predisposed to like this book. I'm a fan of the author, who plays Diane on General Hospital and Barb on Cougar Town, among other things. She's a smart, funny, strong and cool lady, so I went into this expecting good things. This is a book for tweens. If you are not between 8 and 12, you must read the book keeping in mind the target audience to appreciate it. It's light and funny with lots of adventure and lessons in history, mythology, social skills and morality thrownI Love this STORY
I loved every part of it! It was one of the best books i've ever read and that's really saying something!
I'm teaching a unit on myths right now and read this so I could recommend it to some kids who are getting really into Ancient Greece, but I probably won't be recommending it. It relies on a TON of background knowledge of Greek mythology while simultaneously remixing Greece to be semi-modern (think Flinstones of Ancient Greece as I read in another review) so it'll be confusing for any kid who isn't already well read on the subject.Secondly, the writing just kind of sucks. It isn't simplistic and
This book ain't subtle. Obviously published to capitalize both on the tweeny-chicklet-lit boom and the success of The Lightning Thief, it's a pretty frothy mix of middle school angst and LOTS OF ANCIENT GREEK STUFF. It's the story of Pandora, if she were a school child. I mean, every paragraph has something slipped in, usually in a cutesy or almost-feels-like-learning way. For example (adn these are all in the first few pages),"I know what the school sundial says...""I wouldn't even qualify for
So it's about Pandora who's dad is Promethieuous and he stole fire from the Gods for mankind. Then as a punishment Zeus locks him to a rock, and a giant weird creature would beat him up everyday. Finally he was let go, and he had a daughter, Pandora. She was a gift from Zeus, but he gave Promethieous a box full of all of the bad things in life, like death, hate,Jealousness, Vanity, and stuff like that. Pandora later opens the box, and everything goes wrong. She has to fight to find the things
