Little Olympians 2: Athena, Goddess of Wisdom

by A.I. Newton, Anjan Sarkar (Illustrator)

Overview

Little gods go head to head in their own Olympic Games! The other gods are bragging about their powers, but Athena wonders if she can win. Can she use knowledge and strategy to take the gold? Read Book 2 in this fun chapter book series featuring the Olympians as they attend camp Eureka.

The next book in this series follows Athena as the Little Olympians prepare for their own Olympic Games! All the other gods brag about what competitions they'll win because of their powers—Artemis and Apollo will surely win any bow-and-arrow practice, Ares will win any strength competition, and Hermes will win any footrace—but in what event can Athena possibly take the gold? Sure she's wise, but she can't match their godly powers . . . or can she?

As the games begin, Athena has to find unconventional ways to stay in the competition. Will she be able to use strategy and cunning to win the Olympics and show that knowledge is the ultimate power?
