The story of Homer's "Odyssey" from the point of view of a young girl, Klymene, a servant of Penelope, Odysseus' wife. She also has her own adolescent fears, hopes and dreams. The Greek gods and goddesses sometimes make their appearances, as they do in the original, while some of Odysseus' adventures appear in the dreams of the characters, including the old dog Argo.

Winner of several awards, this is a superior book for young adults.
