Treasury of Glorious Goddesses series.
Illustrated by
Shirin Yim Bridges.
In each novel, a goddess relates her story, enhanced with details from her culture of origin and her (imagined) motivations. Back matter adds historical context and dim black-and-white artifact photos, while a chart separates myth from fiction. Though the choice to voice the goddesses with a shallow tween giddiness may exclude some readers, others will find this an easy entry point to mythology. Bib., glos. $ Review Covers these Treasure of Glorious Goddesses titles: Call Me Athena, Call me Ixchel, Call me Isis
