Lane.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Middle school is never easy, especially when you're powerless and your brother's a perfect God... Newly minted fans will hope that future myth-adventures will be just as silly."--<em>Kirkus Reviews</em><br><br>"Oddonis's transition from outsider to a leader who sees his individuality as a strength shines through the nonstop gross-out humor and silliness. Frequent nods to well-known mythological figures will draw in readers...black-and-white illustrations by Lane, which amplify the comedy, will appeal to readers of graphic hybrids."--<em>Publishers Weekly</em><br><br>"Readers will end up admiring Oddonis for standing up for underdogs everywhere, but may spare some sympathy for Adonis, too, who turns out to be a comically clumsy oaf pressured into a "win at any cost" mentality by his all-powerful dad. Stay tuned for further mishaps and mythic misadventures."--<em>Booklist</em><br><br>"Oddonis and his friends are well developed, engaging, relatable characters who will draw readers into the story with ease. The plot is funny and will resonate well with fans of Jeff Kinney's "Diary of a Wimpy Kid" and Rick Riordan's "Percy Jackson and the Olympians" series."--School Library Journal<br>
