Publisher's Note
Three goddesses, banished to earth by their dad, Zeus (yeah, that Zeus)...Era, on mortal boys:"Look at him. Even the gods back home aren't that cute." Polly, on Nova High gossip:"I'm simply not in the mood to chatter on about silly spiteful girlsor cute Johnny Jims or sauerkraut breath." Thalia, on earth:"I mean, we don't know what earth is like. Maybe it's all leprechaunsand roses. Maybe it's an adventure every day. Maybe it's space-age." Polly, Era, and Thalia are stuck on earth, and to get back to Olympus, they've got to prove they've learned their lesson. And they've got to get through high school in the meantime. Which would be hard enough without the horribly evil Furies threatening to destroy their chances of ever seeing home again....
Industry Reviews "Lightweight though this title may be, it has a sly humor, an amusing narrator (in muse Thalia), and a fast pace that wannabe goddesses will find enchanting." Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books - Janice M. Del Negro (03/01/2002)
