Description
MEET IRIS!
Iris lives with her parents beside the ocean. Every day, she waters the clouds to make it rain so the plants will grow.
WHEN A BOY ARRIVES FROM OLYMPUS…
Iris is tasked with helping to solve a mystery: Zeus’s daughters have accused each other of lying, but each argues they are telling the truth. Their friendship is in peril and the tension is causing mayhem on Olympus!
Iris must find a magical river, whose water will make anyone who drinks it tell the truth, and bring it back to Olympus.
THERE’S JUST ONE PROBLEM…
She must go to the Underworld—a dark, terrifying place filled with dangerous monsters—to get it.
IRIS SOON LEARNS OF ANOTHER MYSTERY…
Hades, the god of the Underworld, is angry with Zeus, and no one knows why.
CAN IRIS FACE HER FEARS AND UNCOVER THE TRUTH?
“Iris is an engaging and warm heroine who draws readers in. This series is a fun, colorful adventure perfect for the mythology obsessed elementary kid.“
– Haley W., Youth Librarian
“I was pleasantly surprised by The River of Truth, realizing rather quickly as I perused the sample that this is precisely the sort of book I would want to put in front of students who need a book a little more entertaining but are also working at a 2nd-3rd grade level. While there are some more difficult words, like optimistic and straightened, the vast majority are 2-syllable or less and generally follow phonemic rules that make this book perfect for reading development. And who can go wrong with Greek Mythology?” – Steph F., Educator
“A reader of Percy Jackson growing up, I was a big fan of Greek Myths and Legends. It is so exciting to see a series using these myths in a way that is digestible for even younger audiences! I can see many young kids loving Iris’s voice and having fun on her journeys.” – Joe N., Reviewer
