PANDORA GETS VAIN
by
Carolyn Hennesy
BOOK TWO
The craziest field trip ever continues as Pandora and her BFFs, Alcie and Iole, are on the hunt for the next evil, vanity, which is hiding in Egypt. But, as usual, the goddess Hera is so not helping and throws as many obstacles as she can in their way. It’s totally distracting (not to mention life-threatening!), and they keep getting pulled off course. Fortunately the other gods and goddesses aren’t nearly as nasty as Hera, and they secretly help out the gang whenever they can. Pandy and her friends (including a new, totally adorable boy-slash-bodyguard) see it all, from a wild thunderstorm at sea and a group of talking dolphins to an . . . um . . . eye-thingy monster that’s just really, really scary. It sounds crazy, but don’t worry: Pandy can handle it . . . right?

What a ride!

Carolyn Hennesy has done it again. Pandora gets Vain continues on the mythical journey that readers have been anxiously awaiting since the ending of the first book, Pandora gets Jealous. Ms. Hennesy transports you into long ago ages when Gods and Goddesses were revered in foreign lands and gives you a heroine in Pandora that today's readers can identify with. Pandy and her friends, along with the new ones she picks up along the way, show strength in friendship, faith, and family in a way that leaves you rooting for them to gather each of the seven sins and triumph in the end. They talk in language that is appealing to the youth of today while the settings they find themselves in vividly paints a picture of days gone by. Whether you are a 'tween' and just learning about the wonders of mythology or are long past school days and just remember those lessons with a fondness, you are going to read this book and instantly start wondering when the third book will be released. Ms. Hennesy has a knack for storytelling and you can see in your mind the picture that she is telling, transporting yourself through her words to the scene of the story that is being told. From the opening page with a turbulent storm to the last page with a glorious gift from a God, you are going to be on the edge of your seat wondering how Pandy and company are going to make it through this next mission.
