*A necessary and powerful resource. —Kirkus, Starred Review

A necessary book on a topic that is often shrouded in silence. All YA collections will want to consider.--School Library Journal

“This book will save hearts. This book will save minds. This book will save lives. –-A.S. King, author of Still Life with Tornado and I Crawl Through It


“Greek mythology provides the frame for this exciting amalgam of action, friendship, and girl-detective fiction….Try this with graduates of Rebecca Stead’s When You Reach Me (2009) or the 39 Clues series; and for readers who want to chase the mythology, this can follow Tracy Barrett’s Dark of the Moon (2011).“–Cindy Welch, Booklist Online

“Secret societies, mythology, and puzzles worthy of a Dan Brown novel all figure prominently in this thriller. “—VOYA, Sean Rapacki.

“VERDICT Secret societies, Greek mythology, and a group of strong female characters…will hit the mark with readers who have finished Rick Riordan’s “Percy Jackson” series (Disney-Hyperion).“–Stacy Dillon, School Library Journal.
