Esther M. Nobody's princess, New York
: Random House, 2007.
Annotation:
This
exciting novel reimagines the infamous myth of Helen of Troy, as a young girl
frustrated by the confines of being a woman. She disguises herself as a boy,
and learns to fight, hunt and ride horses, preparing her for an epic adventure,
where she meets Atalanta, a fierce female warrior, visits the Oracle at Delphi,
and embarks on a quest for the Golden Fleece with Jason of the Argonauts. The
novel goes beyond the face that could launch a thousand ships, and creates a
strong and inspiring heroine.
