This is an easy to read, larger sized print, chapter book for younger readers. Very appealing with a colorful jacket and black and white illustrations on the inside. This series was modeled after the version of Goddess Girls for intermediate readers, and makes a great introduction to the series for it’s reader base. Artemis is the main character and is joined by Athena, Medusa, Zeus and others. I appreciate how the authors retain the integrity of the character traits of each mythical goddess or creature introduced into the story. It’s a great way for children to learn about Greek Mythology through the adventures of the relatable characters in our story. Recommended for readers in the primary grades and even intermediate struggling readers will very likely enjoy this series!

There’s A Fly Guy In My Soup
A boy had a pet fly.
Right from the very first sentence we know that Arnold will take us on a whimsical adventure. After all, how many people relish the idea of a pet fly?
The boy’s name is buzz, which is very convenient for Fly Guy as he can easily pronounce his best buddy’s name!
This is book #12 in the series. We find Buzz and his family are on vacation. As the family goes to lunch at the hotel restaurant, Fly Guy goes to lunch in the hotel trash. Gross humor ensues (he is a fly of course) that most kids will find very funny. After he gets all yucky and covered with garbage, he decides he needs a bath. The unfortunate use of a diner’s soup as his bath cause a lot of commotion and mess.
Young readers cannot get enough of Fly Guy and Buzz. Like the other titles in this series, this book will also be in high demand.
