(3) 4-6 Heroes series. For those who aren't ready to tackle Homer's epic poem, this prose adaptation of The Odyssey does a creditable job disseminating the tale. McCaughrean clearly relishes the epic's adventure and drama, and she captures a bit of Homer's style by repeating her phrases and descriptions.
