The Junior Library Guild selected, magical reimagining of the classic Greek myth returns to print! The Greek myth of Demeter and her daughter Persephone is reborn in a sprawling, high fantasy adventure inspired by the art style of Japanese anime and vintage, 1950s American comics. Despite being the adopted daughter of a magician, Persephone is just a normal girl, but that's exactly the problem. So ordinary next to a literal force of nature. Driven by recurring nightmares as well as a budding curiosity, Persephone finds the secrets of her birth to be elusive and well-hidden by everyone around her. A journey to the Underworld will certainly bring the answers she seeks, but an epic adventure isn't all that awaits her in the depths of Hades... Storyteller and illustrator Loc Locatelli-Kournwsky (Flavor Girls) weaves a story of magic and intrigue in this stunningly rendered modern retelling of the Greek myth, enchanting fans of Miyazaki and Lore Olympus alike.
