Odysseus In The Serpent Maze (2002) - Plot & Excerpts
This was a fun little read about what Odysseus may have been like as a young teen and some of the adventures he may have had. There was plenty of action and humor and 'will they make it out okay' thrills. I would totally recommend it to young boys (and gals, because Penelope is a strong girl) except for the fact that Odysseus is a champion liar. And he does it all the time. And people think it's funny. And acceptable. And I'm not okay with that. His grandfather is also a master thief and liar and everyone laughs about it. (Can you hear my teeth grinding yet?)While fun and interesting, this book will be leaving my home. I didn't appreciate the morals and there are better things for my boys to read.
