| Publisher Description: Well-researched and true to the original myths, each volume in the Goddess Girls series addresses contemporary issues like friendships and relationships from a classically accurate--and entertaining--persepective. In Aphrodite the Beauty, Aphrodite, goddessgirl of love, must deal with jealousy after giving Athena a makeover. It doesn't seem fair that the godboys pay more attention to her friend when Aphrodite is supposed to be destined for love She also copes with a crush from an unlikely source--the nerdy Hephaestus (god of the smith)--and learns that love comes in many forms. |
