Joan Holub and Suzanne Williams created the Goddess Girls series for young readers who love mythology and school stories in equal measure. The series takes the gods, goddesses, and heroes of Greek myth and places them at Mount Olympus Academy, where they attend classes, navigate friendships, and deal with problems that mirror real middle school experiences. Athena worries about grades, Aphrodite deals with social drama, and Artemis struggles with expectations from her family.
The series ran from 2010 to 2022 and grew to 28 books, with each installment focusing on a different character from Greek mythology. Holub and Williams kept the tone light and accessible while staying surprisingly faithful to the original myths. Young readers encounter figures like Medusa, Pandora, Persephone, and Ares in stories that blend ancient lore with the everyday concerns of growing up. The success of Goddess Girls also led to related series from the same co-authors, including Heroes in Training and Little Goddess Girls for younger readers.
