Formatted in the typical series style, it is fascinating, engaging and accessible for multiple age groups. The book opens by explaining what Greek mythology is, who the main players were/are, and the Greeks’ answers to some of life’s biggest questions. Highly recommend!

Some more recent additions to this super series that never fails to engage fact lovers and is very popular amongst my KS2 boys in particular. These books are information dense, but the graphic style makes them easy to access for a wide range of readers. I've noticed that they seem to encourage communal reading too, with lots of fact sharing going on between the readers. There's lots of titles across the series, many that link to curriculum areas and are great for supplementing and reinforcing knowledge as well as reading for information and pleasure.

"[it] provides information in an accessible and engaging way for younger readers. Did you know that the ks2/3 national curriculum is consulted when making these to ensure they cover important educational topics, making them perfect teaching aids?! There’s so many other amazing books as part of this series. Definitely worth checking out.”

Even if you have studied these at school there is bound to be something in here that you didn’t know before. Of particular note are the brief but detailed notes on key gods and a retelling of the Icarus story to boot. The important thing to realise is that of all the ancient civilisations it is the Greeks that are most relevant today and the stories that were created in those times are as vibrant as when they were first written.
