Summary: I coudn't put it down
Comment: I usually find at least one thing wrong with each of the author's books, but Goddess of Yesterday was perfect. It tells the story of a young girl named Anaxandra, taken as a hostage to the island of Siphnos where she is a companion to the Princess Callisto. When war comes, she must pertend to be Callisto in order to save herself. Before the books is over, she has to pretend to be even more people. The villain is Helen of Troy, who I hated ( I mean that in a good way), but one of my favorite charaters was Paris, who was equally as mean as Helen. And the main character, Anaxandra, was so real.
Goddess of Yesterday was easy to undersaynd, good Historical fiction, detailed Greek Mythology, and very exciting. I couldn't put the book down, and I wish it had gone on longer. And, unlike a lot of Caroline B. Cooney's other books, the ending to Goddess of Yesterday was complete.

Summary: ~GREAT BOOK~
Comment: I really enjoyed GODDESS OF YESTEREDAY because it was written in a form that really was interesting to me. I have not bothered to read The Illiad or The Odyssey because I was afraid they would be boring. But I found this book, and it had the type of story I was looking for. The Trojan War and what led to it, and Anaxandra's own life. She is around the same age as me, and although I could not excatly connect with her with her problems, I really enjoyed viewing this timeperiod through her eyes. It was not all poetic and boring as I thought all Greek books would be. This book is what I would recomend to those who like Greek myths and stories, and historical fiction.
