Ovid's got a lot on his mind, and he pours it all--as confessions, narrative poems, drawings, and observations--into the pages of a notebook. Inspired by his namesake, he wryly records his classmates' dramas as modern day Roman mythology. There's Sophie and Caleb, the Psyche and Cupid of cyber-couples, and poetic Paula who pursues Franny like Apollo chasing Daphne. Meanwhile Ovid hides his own struggles: his meth addict sister Thena has run off, leaving him with a suffocating home life and a disturbing secret.What SL teens are saying about the book...
"I liked the idea of the book and the different forms of writing. I also thought it was very short and the ending was left hanging. I still had questions."--Joanna Q.
"I was disappointed because I expected more from the book, and I thought I would get more out of the story."--Richie H.
I really like how Franco twisted Roman mythology into a modern day high school drama. But I thought the ending needed more work. Everything just ended all of a sudden. It left a lot of questions unanswered, like what happened to the other characters."--Jenny L.
