Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Dreamer Iris Greenwold doesn't care much for the real world. It's generally pretty disappointing: divorced parents, unsympathetic peers, and a middle school that is hell. But then, on her twelfth birthday, Iris mysteriously receives a copy of Bulfinch's Mythology and discovers that the entire pantheon of gods are living in the greater Philadelphia area. Poseidon's running a clam shack, Aphrodite's doing makeovers, Apollo's playing tenor sax. . . .
 
Suddenly the day-to-day life Iris found so humdrum is rich with new meaning and excitement, and all her dreams are not quite what they seemed.
Includes an author's note and a key to the gods and goddesses.

Synopsis:

When Iris Greenwold receives a copy of "Bulfinch's Mythology" for her 12th birthday, she discovers that all of the ancient gods are living in the greater Philadelphia area.
