OH MY GODS! by Tera Lynn Childs
All Phoebe wants is to finish her last year of high school and earn a track scholarship to USC. Instead, her life is turned upside down when her mother marries a man who is practically a stranger and they move to the small Greek Island where he lives with his daughter.
Phoebe enrolls in the school where her stepfather is the headmaster and clearly does not fit in. Not only are the students beautiful, brilliant and even more athletic than she is, but she finds out they are all descendents of the Greek gods and have various supernatural powers. Included in this group is Phoebe’s new stepsister who, along with her clique of popular girls, is determined to make Phoebe’s life miserable. All Phoebe has to do is make it through one year and then she can return to her normal life in the US, but will she still want to leave Greece once she meets Griffin, the mysterious guy who seems too perfect, even for a Greek God?
Full of romance, humor, and tons of mythological references, Oh My Gods! is a fun and quick read.
I recommend this book to girls in grades 8-12.
