Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Homer's great epic poem, The Odyssey, is excitingly recaptured in Robin Lister's fast-moving account of Odysseus's return from Troy and by Alan Baker's richly imaginative illustrations.

This modern rendering of the story is as compelling as it has been to every generation, young and old, since it was first told 3,000 years ago. All the famous episodes are here: the encounter with Polyphemus, the one-eyed Cyclops, Circe's enchanted island, and Odysseus's escape from the dreadful Scylla and Charybdis. Each adventure unfolds with the freshness and immediacy of the original and leads us twoard the story's dramatic climax.

Synopsis:

This timeless retellings of one of the world's greatest stories is accompanied by magnificient artwork.

All of my students, males and females, have enjoyed this book. They get involved in the story and seem to forget that they are learning about epic poetry, allusion, flashback, and other skills. Presentation of material is appropriate for middle school. It blends with the English Language Arts and Social Studies Curriculum.
