Which is worse: Having to start life over, or being eaten by a Minotaur?
The Library of Athena, Book One
Thirteen-year-old Megan Montgomery’s world is falling apart. Her father’s promotion means leaving her whole life in New York behind. She finds herself transplanted to a huge, lonely manor house in the English countryside, with no one for company but the distant staff. Her new school only adds to her misery—neither the girls nor the teachers seem to like her.
Then Megan meets three girls who actually talk to her instead of about her, and at first she thinks things are getting better. But the girls seem more interested in the strange rumors that the house is haunted. Desperate to make friends, Megan invites them to sleep over for the weekend.
A discovery of a cryptic poem, a key and a diary written by the builder of the manor—an eccentric archaeologist—turns the sleepover into a treasure hunt. Clues lead the girls to believe the Parthenon holds a great secret—and suddenly they find themselves sucked into one man’s version of Ancient Greece. The only way home is to find an object thought to be mere legend.
If they survive that long.
I don’t know a girl of 14, or a woman of 50, who wouldn’t love this book! Part Nancy Drew, part Harry Potter, with a wee bit of DaVinci Code and a dash of everything you ever loved about archaeology and history—Christine brings together mystery, adventure, suspense, and humor in this tightly woven book. I found The Crown of Zeus completely absorbing, with a pace that builds through the book and never weakens.
“THE CROWN OF ZEUS is a fun blend of spunky heroines and Greek mythology that’s sure to appeal to Norris’s fans as well as new readers.”
“Christine Norris has written a YA adventure that’s one part Indiana Jones, one part Chronicles of Narnia and one part Nancy Drew. Who wouldn’t want to read it? I’d like to live it.”
