Enjoyable but not terribly memorable novel starring my favorite of the Greek gods, Hermes. I was hoping for a little more depth and resonance, but enjoyed Spinner's retelling of some of the myths from Hermes' point of view ( )

A book I just love that seems to have gotten lost. Told in the voice of the god Mercury, Stephanie Spinner weaves together the high points of Mercury's career as a mischievous god in a clever, amusing way. A great way to introduce students to Greek mythology.

First sentence: It's dark and gloomy, and it smells like dead sheep, but when Zeus says go to Hell, I go. ( )
