Book Review: Atlanta and the Arcadian Beast by Jane Yolen, Robert J. Harris (Young Heroes)
17 November 2009 – 8:10 am
Summary: Twelve-year-old Atalanta seeks revenge on the mysterious creasture that killed her adoptive father, and with the help of her bear friend Urso, hunts down the beast, meets the legendary hunter Orion, and discovers the truth of her parentage.
Although part of the “Young Heroes” series, this book can be read as a stand alone book. This book was an enjoyable read about a young teen heroine from a mythological Greek setting. I have enjoyed and trusted Jane Yolen’s work for years and I am sure the whole series is very good. I recommend it for young readers and all readers.
