Odd Gods: Misfit Myths from Mount Olympus Middle School

(4) 4-6 Illustrated by Adam J.B. Lane. At Mt. Olympus Middle School, hapless Oddonis lives in the shadow of his perfect twin, Adonis, until he competes against Adonis for class president, aided by oddball friends. Humorous cartoon sketches decorate every page, breaking up the accessible slapstick text and adding to the fun. Despite casual treatment of the source mythologies, Slavin and Weitzman's over-the-top comedy truly captures the angst of middle school.
