Review

This is the tenth installment in George O’Connor’s Olympians series. This installment is sure to delight. Readers of all ages will love the retelling of Hermes's shenanigans. The art in this graphic novel is as colorful and vivid as the other books in the series. This could serve as an introduction for those new to the world of Greek mythology, but it will also entertain those familiar with the story. An Author’s Note is included in the back as well as profiles of the main characters, Geek Notes that provide insight into the story and illustrations, a Bibliography, a list of recommended sources, and a Discussion Guide. This is a must-purchase for school and public libraries where the series is already popular. If you have not yet purchased the Olympian graphic novels for your library, you should definitely add them to your next order!

Overall Book Score: excellent
