Description
When Paris and Helen decide to hit the road together, it means more trouble than they can imagine for both themselves and the people of Troy. But who says Helen is entirely at fault? Sure she had a face that launched a thousand ships . . . but she also had a little interference from the meddling god of love and his mother, Aphrodite. Think you know the truth behind the Greek myths? Think again. Hades is here to set you straight once more on the true story of the Trojan War.
For ages 9-13. From the Myth-o-Mania series.
*The long-awaited follow-up to her best-selling Myth-o-Mania series – first new title in series in 10 years!
*Fractured myth: explains the Trojan War from Hade’s perspective
*Best-selling series for Capstone in bookstores

Advance Praise
Praise for Hit the Road, Helen!:
"The ninth in a series of rollicking Greek–god-and-goddess tales for those not quite ready for Rick Riordan."
-Kirkus Reviews
For Myth-o-Mania:
"McMullan has rewritten famous Greek myths in a modern style. Plentiful humorous dialogue, including jokes, puns, and pop-culture references, ups the appeal."
-The Horn Book
"a great series to introduce younger readers to Greek mythology or for readers who love retold classics."
-San Francisco Book Review
"Are the kids wild about Rick Riordan's Lightening Thief? Give them this series of fractured Greek myth retellings, told from the point of view of Hades. Now back in print after an almost ten year absence, they are therefore new to today's kids."
-EarlyWord Kids
"great fun for anyone who is familiar with Greek mythology."
