I found this good-condition hardcover (different cover than shown) for cheap at the last Humane Society benefit yard sale. Looks like a modern-day, kids-eye-view retelling of ancient Greek myths - sorta!
Later: definitely an interesting and offbeat mix, with the Greek gods and some of their most recent half-human offspring dealing with parent/kid issues. [Given the way those gods carried on, it isn't really surprising that there are enough of their half-mortal kids around to populate a Very Special Summer Camp {grin}!]
Update: was amused to find this title included in the Unshelved comic strip book club entries!
