Loved this retelling of the Persephone story from her point of view. Since we did the whole mythology unit in 6th grade last year (we're doing it again, 6th graders - yeah!) when we read the Persephone myth and then the 6th graders read The Lightning Thief, I have been looking for more novels with a mythology bent. This one is great, but it's really for a little bit older audience than middle school, so I'll leave it to the high school to order.
