Megan in Ancient Greece PB

Despite being 80 pages long, with illustrations, and part of a children's series, the book did not have me (and adult) gripped, which says something about how good--or not--the writing was right there. All the same, looking at it from an adult's perspective, I loved the main character, enjoyed the setting of ancient Greece, liked the illustrations, and found something the main character did absolutely brilliant. Although not the best of the series, this was good fun to read!

Megan is very excited about the fifth-grade haunted hayride that she helped plan. So when the hayride has to be canceled due to rain, Megan is extremely disappointed. She decides to visit the Magic Attic, hoping an adventure there will take her mind off the canceled event. Megan travels back in time to the life of a young girl in Ancient Greece. Her uncle and cousin have built a new temple to Demeter, but there is a plot underfoot to sabotage it. Megan is determined to stop the villains but soon learns that will be difficult, due to the rules young girls of Ancient Greece are expected to follow. This is a good read for young girls who are fans of the Magic Attic club, who enjoy time travel adventures, or who are interested in the world of Ancient Greece. The short length will appeal to reluctant readers as well, and there is some education information about what life was like for the people of Ancient Greece, in particular women and girls.

Megan Ryder is a 12-year-old girl who lives with her mother . Megan has a friend named Ellie. Ellie has an attic with an old steamer trunk and every trip she takes the trunk has more clothes. This time when Megan slipped on a tunic and looked in the mirror she traveled into Ancient Greece.That night in Greece someone steals a very precious thing from the temple.Will Megan be able to find what was stolen?Will she be able to find who steals it?You'll be able to find all these answers in this book full of adveture.Over-all I think this book was exciting and shoud be suitable for any age to read.

When Megan finds herself in ancient Greece, she almost immediately gets herself in trouble because she is bothered by the submissive role women there are expected to play. But by being her usual adventureous self, she manages to save the day (as usual) and win the respect of her (in Ancient Greece) male cousin. Another fun book!
