Description

Oh My Gods!, the first in a new middle grade graphic novel series, reads as if Raina Telgemeier and Rick Riordan teamed up to write a comic, and offers a fresh and funny spin on Greek mythology. When an average girl moves to Mt. Olympus, she discovers her new classmates are gods and mythological creatures are actually real--as if junior high isn't hard enough! 

Karen is just an average thirteen-year-old from New Jersey who loves to play video games with her friends and watch movies with her mom. But when she moves to Greece to live with her eccentric, mysterious father, Zed, suddenly everything she thought about herself--about life--is up in the air.

Starting a new school can be difficult, but starting school at Mt. Olympus Junior High, where students are gods and goddesses, just might take the cake. Especially when fellow classmates start getting turned to stone. Greek mythology . . . a little less myth, a little more eek! And if Karen's classmates are immortal beings, who does that make her?

Reviews

"The dialogue and characterizations are spot on and snappy. Kudos also to Juliana Moon's cartooning. Her artwork is immensely engaging -- filled with expressive, appealing faces and a wide variety of body shapes and sizes." --New York Times Book Review   "[An] adorable father-daughter-bonding story with a twist....A fun romp with minimal drama and plenty of heart makes this a refreshing read, and a teaser ending indicates more to come."--Booklist   "A breezy tone and well-placed gags keep things moving in Cooke and Fitzpatrick's series opener.... Instantly inviting art with strong lines and a colorful palette by Moon quickly situates the reader."--Publishers Weekly   "Sure to be a hit among readers seeking an exciting mystery with mythological flair."--School Library Journal   "Visually, Moon's bright and expressive art propels Cooke and Fitzpatrick's narrative, with tidy stylization and an alluring full-color palette....Intriguing." --Kirkus --
