Persephone befriends resident bad boy Hades in this second book in the Goddess Girls Graphic Novel series, based on the popular and long-running Goddess Girls series.
Persephone's mom encourages her to "go along to get along" instead of doing what she really wants, and Persephone follows her advice even when it makes her feel like a fake. But when she meets Mount Olympus Academy troublemaker Hades, she finally feels she has found someone she can be herself with. He's the first person who actually listens to her, and she finds herself liking him, despite the fact that the other goddess girls think he's bad news. But if he makes her feel so special—and she's so comfortable hanging around him—can he really be all that bad?

      Gr 3-7-Persephone learns to speak up for herself to her fellow immortal classmates and protective "chariot mother," Demeter. After a prologue in which Demeter tells a very young Persephone to "go along to get along" in terms of playing games to make friends, tween Persephone has taken that advice to the extreme. She accepts whatever label her friends at Mount Olympus Academy apply to her, whether it's assuming her interest in knitting or influencing her clothing and makeup. Hades, treated as an outcast, appreciates Persephone for who she really is, but her friends and Demeter interfere with their friendship. The cast is mostly white, though Persephone's friend Artemis is Black. The use of the Greek pantheon, complete with mythological settings and creatures, meshes well with messages of self-confidence and autonomy. VERDICT Readers will learn assertiveness during Persephone's journey from Olympus through the underworld and back in this self-contained story.
