The gods of Olympus have been at war with their wives for centuries. Zeus, famously unable to control his divine desires was deserving of his punishment - to touch a mortal lover was to bring instant death.

To foil Hera's curse, the mighty gods of Olympus must set aside their wild ways and devote themselves to the search for love, the key to their eternity, and usher in an age of New Olympians.

THERE ARE NO MINOR GODS Remember the Greek myths you assumed were fiction? The old gods that you thought were just someone's imagination? You were wrong. They've been with us the whole time, fighting battles we didn't even know existed, and now they've returned. Lilah Jones is officially unremarkable. She thinks this birthday will be the same as all the others, with the exception of the dream. No, it was a nightmare. Every second of it felt so real that it left her heart racing and her skin covered in cold sweat. As hard as she tries, Lilah can't forget it. Every eerie word is charred into her mind-the father of monsters is rising. The Olympians are reuniting, preparing to fight the most dangerous battle they've ever faced. Each of the thirteen gods knows exactly who they are and how they fit in-except Lilah. If she doesn't figure out who she is and her role in this battle, there's no way she'll survive. It's clear the myth has changed this time, and if the story changes, then the ending is up for grabs. Winning isn't a given this time. If the Olympians don't work together and figure out why Lilah has been added to their numbers, then they could lose the battle, and the world will perish with them. The entire RISE OF THE OLYMPIANS series (volumes 1-6), including the series finale, is included with this boxed set. Great for boys and girls, early readers and up. "A swicked adventure that any Percy Jackson fan will love. Read it now! You won't be sorry." -H.M. Ward, New York Times bestselling author.

Published in partnership with the International Association of School Librarianship, this work gathers together the latest and most important research on the topics of social justice and cultural competency in school libraries.

Both coeditors are experienced in working with authors from around the world and have participated in the development of effective and ethical standards and guidelines for school library practitioners. Brief real-life case studies of school librarians and teachers in action showcase efforts to improve the lives of marginalized or under-served students. School librarians inside and outside of the United States, school library educators and policymakers, and academic librarians building school librarianship collections will find this guide valuable.

Little gods, big personalities! This brand-new series follows little versions of the Greek gods who are at a camp to learn how to control their powers and use them properly--as well as learn to get along with one another. Zeus is living with his parents, Kronos and Rhea, and he's starting to show his abilities, but his lightning is out of control! Every time he sneezes or gets mad, or is even just plain bored, his lightning shoots out. He tries to keep it under wraps most of the time, but he can't help it, and it causes such a ruckus that his parents decide that it's time he learns to properly use his powers. So they send him to Eureka, a camp where little gods learn to use and control their supernatural abilities. He's excited to be able to learn to use his powers here, but he's also nervous about going and meeting all the other gods. Apollo and Ares in particular seem very strong (and they let him know it), but he finds friends in the calm and wise Athena and the wisecracking Hermes. But after some trouble with classes, he starts to get discouraged. Will he be able to control his powers with the help of his friends?
