Summary: ALAS! A NEW BOOK HAS COME FORTH!
Comment: Greetings oh internet surfer! I have been asked by my teacher to write a review, and summary of "Odysseus in the Serpent Maze" by Jane Yolen.
Summary: Odysseus, young Prince of Ithaca, teams up with his counseling friend Mentor, for a terrifying but satisfying adventure. Odysseus has always been the brave and adventurous young warrior, who is constantly exaggerating his tales. Mentor is his faithful sidekick, who falls in love with the beautiful Helen. They bump into Helen and Penelope while finding refuge on a ship. The four embark on a quest that they will never forget-because of the danger, but also because of the danger, but also because of the faith that they find in each other.
Review: Overall, it was an excellent story with a good plot. Jane Yolen makes a legendary hero into a lanky, imaginative young teenager. The book is actually historial fiction, and includes lots of information of both factual and mythical proof. She also incorporates realistic violence sequences that are sure to please the reader as they do Odysseus. The characters capture your heart and their lifelike performance is sure to leave an imprint on your mind.

Summary: All About Odysseus in the Serpent Maze
Comment: This book is about teenage Odysseus, who longs to be a hero so he can prove that he isn't a child anymore or something like that. After being badly wounded by a wild boar on a visit with his theif of a grandfather, Odysseus is sent home on a ship full of treasures. However, in the middle of the ocean, Odysseus and his best friend Mentor fall overboard the ship and are stranded in the middle of the deep, dark sea. They run into pirates and sort of outsmart them, but not enough to keep them from throwing Odysseus overboard. But before Odysseus gets thrown into the sea again, the two of them breifly meet two princesses who were being held captive on the ship. There is Helen, who is a stuck-up, two-faced brat who only thinks about her looks. The other is sensible, brave, and I-don't-care-if-I-get-my-dress-dirty Penelope. Though not as gorgeous as Helen, Odysseus reveals later in the story that he thinks Penelope is the beautiful one. All of them, (Mentor,Odysseus,Helen,and Penelope)with the help of an incredibly smelly satyr, end up on a terrifying and fascinating journey that they will never forget. Facing half-woman, half-bird creatures, a cruel army, a ferocious metal dog, a rockslide, and the terrifying many-headed snake in the serpent maze itself,all of them encounter terrrifying,emotional,hopeful,and hopeless moments that bring them all into a strange bond of friendship. If you like Odysseus in the Serpent Maze, you will certainly like Hippolyta and the Curse of the Amazons, and Atalanta and the Arcadian Beast. Have fun reading these enchanting books!

Summary: Myth and action colide-by mtjones
Comment: Back in the time when the powerful,greek gods ruled and the evil gorgons who served Saiton exsisted there lived a young boy named Odysseus and soon he found a princess named Penelope. They went on countless adventures against pirates, gorgons, giants, and the giant hundred headed snak. Will Odysseus save the city or fale them or the world? To find out you should read this book.

So if I were you I'd get those books as fast as I can so hurry! This book inspires me because it has creatures and hero's I never heard of.
