about himself. Its turns out that the new guy uses her to get what he wants.In the end Artemis gets her revenge on the new guy for what he diid to her.Nows she not sure if she can,or will, ever fall in love again.

I liked this book. Its shows a lot of girls what type of guy they can trust. Some of the guys now are just like the new guy at Artemis"s school.I think all of the girls should read this book when they fall in love. It might help them on their journey.Their journey might get a lot easier after they read this book. Just remember true love doesn't come so easy. Thats what i learned from reading this about.Now its your turn.

Artemis wasn't one of my favorite Goddesses growing up. She sounded so fierce and scary, plus I'm not really big on hunting. Like the other Goddess Girl books Holub and Williams give this a twist so that the problems Artemis faces--a first crush, living up to everyone's expectations and family

matters--still remain true to the original myth, but have modern relatabilities.

The other Goddess Girls are around, helping Artemis and continuing their own stories. While its not necessary to have read the previous three books, it doesn't hurt either. Even though this is Artemis' book, the other girls all have roles to play (just as she did in their books) and a larger understanding of the world is always helpful.

I did find it pretty hilarious that everyone believed Orion to be 'star material' for the very first school play. Orion, in mythology, was later turned into a constellation by Zeus, so that was an amusing way to include that facet of the myth. The little toss in about Actaeon, also a nice touch!

The Goddess Girls series continues to be a delightful series. The positive portrayal of friendship, handling social pressure and class troubles make this a highly recommended series for middle grade girls as well as for teens looking for a light and fun read.
