Well-researched and true to the original myths, each volume in the Goddess Girls series addresses contemporary issues like friendships and relationships from a classically accurate—and entertaining—persepective. In Aphrodite the Beauty, Aphrodite, goddessgirl of love, must deal with jealousy after giving Athena a makeover. It doesn’t seem fair that the godboys pay more attention to her friend when Aphrodite is supposed to be destined for love! She also copes with a crush from an unlikely source—the nerdy Hephaestus (god of the smith)—and learns that love comes in many forms.

A tale of ancient allure through a modern lens, with its blend of mythic charm by presenting a heartfelt protagonist whose tales of friendship and self-discovery would resonate with young readers navigating their own paths to inner beauty.

Super cute! Not my favorite, I think mostly because Aphrodite is a little too girlish for my taste, but I see young girls loving her! More soon.
