Wow! "The Adventures of #Odysseus takes a nearly 3,000-year-old epic, drops it into a bright, fast-moving #graphicnovel chassis, and launches across the Mediterranean like Poseidon just greenlit a mythological demolition derby." @ComicCrusaders

"Move over, Christopher Nolan—there’s a new adaptation of Homer’s epic poem headed our way." @KirkusReviews

[Kirkus Reviews @KirkusReviews]

Children can't see Christopher Nolan’s film (sorry, this one’s rated R, kids). But these enchanting books reimagine the the ‘Odyssey’ and other Greek myths for young readers. https://t.co/xzbgdVzz6g @ebyrbooks @DisneyBooks @ClarionBooks @UnionSquareKids #Odyssey #kidlit
