5.0 out of 5 stars Fun read for girls ages 9-12
Reviewed in the United States on September 23, 2014

The story is about the Goddess Girls and Athena, where she goes to a fair and sees a maze which she changes into a very hard maze. Unfortunately this causes a lot of trouble for her friends and they have to learn to work together to undo the spell. The main lesson is that you shouldn't try to change things to more, that sometimes being happy with what you have is just as good. This book is best for girls ages 9-12 and it's a chapter book in the Goddess Girls series.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful Book
Reviewed in the United States on June 18, 2014

I loved this book and all of the GG series. While, being a fun and hilarious adventure, it is also a good way to learn Greek mythology. I also enjoy when the author mixes up the main character occasionally instead of using the same 4 girls, Aphrodite, Athena, Persephone, and Artemis. Out of all the GG series books I think I enjoyed Athena The Proud as my 4th favorite book under Persephone The Phony, Artemis The Loyal, and my favorite Medusa The Mean. Although I have loved everyone of them.

I thought Athena the Proud was a very good book. It has great character development, and the plot was very creative. It's always interesting to see how the authors weave real Greek myths into their Goddessgirl stories! The one star off is because the series is very repetitive and the word choice is not totally creative. My advice to the authors is to maybe show more action and friendship between the GG girls and Medusa/Pheme. After a book on each girl, I think that they deserve a more prominent role on in the series. Otherwise, nicely done!

I think that Athena is right to believe that the maze is too easy, but she still needs to know that not everyone is as smart as her. I think that she was brave to be able to face her mistakes and admit them. What she and the other inventor did were better than both the original and the harder maze. It shows that teamwork really pays off

This book was really great. I loved how it had a plot twist when (WARNING: SPOILER ALERT!) Athena made the maze harder when it was meant to be easy, so everybody could get out easily. I recommend this book to 7-13 ages. You will not regret this buy!

My eight year old daughter loves these books and cannot put them down once she starts reading them. It probably helps that she's done a bit about Greek Mythology at school.

4.0 out of 5 stars Wieder mal richtig gut!!
Reviewed in Germany on August 27, 2014

In Band 13 ist endlich wieder Athena an der Reihe. Sie wird mit ihren Freunden von König Minos eingeladen seinen neuen Freizeitpark und vor allem dessen Hauptattraktion das Labyrinth auszuprobieren. Es gibt da nur ein Problem, Athena findet das Labyrinth nicht gut genug. Als sie ein paar Besserungen vornimmt beginnt das Chaos. Werden die Freunde es schaffen ihren Weg aus dem Labyrinth heraus zu finden?? Lest selbst!!

Ich mag Athena, sie ist ein netter und bodenständiger Charakter. Bloß in diesem Band hat sie es ein wenig übertrieben. Sie war ein wenig zu überheblich und ihr Frust wegen Heracles hat ein wenig genervt. Sie ist aber auch nicht mal auf die Idee gekommen mit ihm über ihre Gefühle zu reden, sie frisst sie lieber in sich hinein. Dafür das sie eigentlich diejenige mit dem Hirn ist, hapert es manchmal ganz schön.

Natürlich war die ganze Clique wieder mit dabei. Meine Lieblinge Hades und Persephone hatten auch ein paar kleine Szenen. Die Beiden sind so toll, hoffentlich sind sie beide bald wieder an der Reihe. Auch werden in dem Band zwei neue Figuren eingeführt, Ariadne die Tochter von König Minos und Theseus der Cousin von Heracles.

Fazit: Band 13 war sehr unterhaltsam und vor allem sehr spannend. Es war schön das alle bekannten Figuren gemeinsam im Buch vorkamen und zusammen etwas unternommen haben. Vor allem haben die Pärchen immer etwas zusammen unternommen und das war so niedlich. Das Englisch war wieder super leicht zu lesen und zu verstehen und das Cover ist mal wieder richtig toll geworden. Ich freu mich schon auf Band 14, wo wir einen neuen Hauptcharakter kennen lernen!!
