Teenager Achilles is fresh out of juvie.

It wasn't even for something he did; he took the fall for a crime committed by his father, a member of the Greek mafia. As hard as prison was for Achilles, being outside is proving even harder. He struggles to reconnect with his former girlfriend Carla while getting his GED and navigating the bizarre parole condition of qualifying for a Greco-Roman wrestling competition. At least his mom, an ardent follower of traditional Greek religion, is there to help Achilles win the favor of the gods with animal sacrifices in the back garden.

When Principal McKenna sets Achilles up with a student tutor, out-and-proud Hispanic math genius Jesús, things start to turn mythical. After saving Jesús from a violent homophobic attack, the Gods want a word with Achilles. With the help of Underworld boatman Charon (in full drag), Achilles' heroic actions spark an epic adventure of mythological proportions that will force Achilles to confront, and defeat, all his many, many demons in order to win what his heart truly desires.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great, Greek, Gay Time!
Reviewed in the United States on May 17, 2024
I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

People who enjoy Greek mythology are going to love this book aka me. I am people. I was immediately enchanted by the main character, Achilles, because he reminds me of Aristotle from the book Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe. He is such an unsure, introspective character and his tone really reminded me of Ari. I think people who enjoyed reading Aristotle and Dante will really enjoy this book.

The Greek mythology woven throughout the book is really nicely done. I think people who aren't as familiar with Greek mythology may have a bit of a harder time getting into it, but maybe it could serve as a jumping off point for people to learn about the various tales of heroes and gods.

I think the characters are very well fleshed out and believable which is something that I really look for in a book.

This book really sheds light on the injustice of, frankly, our entire prison system, especially when it comes to juvenile detention. The author's note at the back is truly eye opening and I think you can really feel the author's intent about bringing this issue to light, especially at the beginning of the story. I think it's lost a bit at the end due to the more mythological aspects that come into play, but the ending is really beautiful and heart warming.

Also how the author characterizes the various beings for Greek myth are a delight. and was so much fun to encounter.

I highly recommend this book with my five star rating, which means that I will absolutely read it again.
