Persephone the phony

Briar's Reviews

This book is an adorable middle grade series that spins up some new and exciting stories about everyone's favourite Greek gods and goddesses.

Persephone is friends with the other goddesses, but she always finds herself presenting in a way that makes everyone else happy. Her Mom is also uber strict, which is super annoying. She meets Hades, and finds herself a new friend that she doesn't have to pretend around. The two bond, but her friends and Mom think he's trouble. Persephone will learn the values of being herself in this wonderful read.

This series is a delight and I now need to read every single book. It's positive, teaches morals and good lessons, and puts a super fun spin on Greek mythology. I highly recommend this super incredible series if you're looking for a middle grade book to get hooked on.

Four out of five stars.
