Bookroo's summary

At Mount Olympus Academy, young goddess Athena faces a divine dilemma. Tasked by Principal Zeus to assist Heracles with his legendary twelve labors, she must also manage the chaos when Heracles starts taking her friends' belongings without permission. As Athena navigates the challenges of friendship and responsibility, can she guide Heracles to success without losing her own allies? Discover the twists and turns of divine life in this modern mythological adventure.

From the publisher

These classic myths from the Greek pantheon are given a modern twist that contemporary tweens can relate to, from dealing with bullies like Medusa to a first crush on an unlikely boy. Goddess Girls follows four goddesses-in-training - Athena, Persephone, Aphrodite, and Artemis - as they navigate the ins and outs of divine social life at Mount Olympus Academy, where the most priviledged gods and goddesses of the Greek pantheon hone their mythical skills. In book 5, Principal Zeus asks Athena to help Heracles (aka Hercules in the Roman pantheon) complete his twelve labors. But when Heracles starts borrowing Athena’s friends things without asking, will she be able to help him set things straight?
