Athena

“A balance between heightened narration and colloquial dialogue, superb graphic storytelling with extended wordless action sequences, energetic backmatter and a palpable fondness for the subject matter.” –Kirkus Reviews

“The author’s affection for his subject is evident in a chatty note. Profiles of major characters, notes, and discussion questions appear in addition to the usual back matter. An exceptional graphic novel.” –Paula Willey, Baltimore County Public Library, Towson, MD, School Library Journal

“Definitely worth a visit for any young demigod.” –Rick Riordan, author of the Percy Jackson & the Olympians series

“This series is a must for every graphic novel collection.” –SLJ Good Comics for Kids

“A first-rate series.” –Kirkus Reviews
