Aphrodite the Diva (Goddess Girls #6)
Description

These classic myths from the Greek pantheon are given a modern twist that contemporary tweens can relate to, from dealing with bullies like Medusa to a first crush on an unlikely boy.

Goddess Girls follows four goddesses-in-training - Athena, Persephone, Aphrodite, and Artemis - as they navigate the ins and outs of divine social life at Mount Olympus Academy, where the most priviledged gods and goddesses of the Greek pantheon hone their mythical skills. In Book 6, an exchange student from Egypt, Isis, is encroaching on Aphrodite's match-making turf. Will she also edge Aphrodite out of her group of friends?

Persephone must help Orpheus reunite with his one true love, Eurydice, possibly at Persephone's own expense. As with the rest of the series, these two fantasies offer lighthearted twists on Greek mythology, giving preteens a creative introduction to classical characters.
