    About this ebook

    Hades, god of the dead, welcomes readers on a dangerous tour of his underworld kingdom, filled with monsters, furies, giants, and vampire demons. Along the way, he reveals ancient death rites and sinister curses, tells hair-raising stories, and cracks jokes to die for. With his witty voice and ghoulish sense of humor, Hades is the perfect guide through this fresh and imaginative work of nonfiction that reads like a novel. Includes a glossary, bibliography, and index.

      Words cannot describe how much I adore this book! First of all, the book is written in a second person narration which makes you feel you are indeed traveling to the underworld.Second of all, the text is funny, fresh, and extremely entertaining. I can see this book being read by kids all over the place, for its magnetic plot and creepy pictures will have kids turning the pages. I recently graduated from college with a degree in Classical Studies, so I like to think of myself as somewhat instructed in this area, and this author sure knows her history!!! I mean she covers many imperative aspects of Greek mythology and turns them into stories that kids will find enthralling. Some of the subjects she mentions are Greek Legends such as gods, philosophers, politicians, monsters, titans, and other creatures. She also writes about other cultural aspects such as rituals, mysteries, and funerary practices.All in all, amazing reading. Like I said before, I cannot repeat enough how much I thoroughly enjoyed this book and can't wait for future books of this author! Thank you very much for giving me the opportunity to review this piece of fun history. (I would love to see an audiobook version of this story, it would be truly epic!). Read, live, and imagine! :)I received a review copy from Netgalley
