Reviewed by JodiG. for TeensReadToo.comPandora Atheneus Andromaeche Helena, "Pandy" to her friends and family, is still on her quest to save the world. The only daughter of the Titan, Prometheus, Pandy is in trouble with Zeus. Due to an unfortunate incident at school, all the evils of the world have been released from a box that was entrusted to her father. Zeus has ordered that Pandora find each of them in order to save the world, and her family. Pandy, along with her friends Alcie and Iole, have already located Jealousy - and are now headed to Egypt to find Vanity. The task itself is difficult but Pandy is also facing the ire of Zeus' wife, Hera, who is determined that Pandora will fail on her quest. Hera has devised dangerous obstacles along every step of Pandora's journey in an attempt to stop her. While the other gods are sympathetic to Pandy, nobody would dare to interfere with Hera's plans. Not right out in the open anyway, but what Hera doesn't know... This time a very handsome bodyguard joins Pandy and her friends. Homer, a poet at heart, didn't really make it in gladiator training. His father has sent him to deliver parcels to his uncle and ordered him to protect the girls on their journey. Will the quiet and very handsome boy prove to be a help or a distraction? He has certainly distracted Alcie. Now the friends find themselves in a land where they do not speak the language and do not know the customs. To make matters worse, they've come upon a traveling troupe of performers from around the world. With so many different languages in one group, is there any way the girls can communicate? Well, if the gods are on your side, anything is possible. PANDORA GETS VAIN is an enjoyable follow-up to the first book, PANDORA GETS JEALOUS, and will leave you waiting anxiously for the next! The second title in this series is written in much the same vein as the first. Pandora and friends have picked up another sidekick, Homer, and are on a quest to capture Vanity. The introduction of Egyptian gods adds interest to the lighthearted storyline. All in all, an easy read and a painless introduction to mythology. It's funny to imagine the gods of Olympus the way the author has written them...they are much more personable.
What do You think about Pandora Gets Vain (2008)?
Great.... although like, 90/100 percent of the book is about the journey to find vain.
