"Shana Norris has brilliantly recast the entire ensemble of
Homer's Iliad to fit the contemporary setting in her novel….
Readers will be seduced by the watchful observer, Cassie,
who narrates the story with a simple honesty and takes you
page by page into this vengeful tale of pride, love, and glory."
-ALAN
"While The Iliad story line lends richness to the narrative,
the book stands alone, and readers unfamiliar with the classic
will still enjoy the war between high schools, started over a
beautiful girl."-School Library Journal
"Norris's prose is breezy, and playful references to
the Iliad entertain."-Publishers Weekly
