About the novel

OH MY GODS

Life as a half-mortal teenager should be epic.

But, for Helen Thomas, it's tragic.

She's just moved in with her dorky dad and self-absorbed older siblings - who happen to be the ancient Greek gods, living incognito in London!

Between keeping her family's true identities secret, trying to impress her new friends, and meeting an actually cute boy, Helen's stress levels are higher than Mount Olympus.

She needs to rein in her chaotic family before they blow their cover AND her chances at a half-normal social life.

​Or is Helen fated for an embarrassment of mythical proportions?

The event is at 1-2 on Thur 30 Mar in HUMS A3
