     I love Greek mythology! This book is a modern spin on classic tale. Athena is the goddess of wisdom, when she moves to Mount of Olympus her whole life changes. She must get used to the fact that other students will be more like her here. Not everyone is smart, some are simply the controls of an element, (Poseidon.)
     Zeus the headmaster of Olympus, announces a science fair. Some of Athena's ideas aren't flawless however. One of here inventions turn Medusa's hair to snakes! Snakes that turn any mortal to stone. When Medusa changes poor Pandora into a stone carving of a girl Athena is put to the task of changing her back. Can Athena make such an antidote? After just arriving at MOA?
