I Am Arachne: Fifteen Greek and Roman Myths

(2) 4-6 Illustrated by Mordicai Gerstein. These brief, breezy retellings of myths are each voiced by one of its protagonists. Gerstein's full-page pen drawings are lively with action; like the text, they scrap heroism in favor of engaging humor. These piquant versions will attract a broad range of readers, while their playful manipulation of point of view is entertainingly provocative.
