(4) 4-6 Young Heroes series. Combining several of the Greek myths about Atalanta (her abandonment at birth, her bear foster-family, her participation in the Calydonian boar hunt), this novel adds new elements and changes the old (e.g., here the boar is a mantiger, a creature of the authors' invention). Some of the plot points are strained, but Atalanta's strong personality shines through.
