The Odyssey

Hinds, Gareth (2011). The Odyssey. NY: Candlewick Press.This is the classic tale of Odysseus, King of Ithaca trying to return home. Challenges get in his way such as man-eating monsters, sirens, sorceresses, and high winds.  Odysseus needs all his strength to make it home to get married and get his kingdom back.  This graphic novel is a great way to tell Homer’s Epic.  This would appeal to ages 13 years and up.  As a teacher this is a great way to teach this Homer’s Epic through a graphic novel.  Graphic novel seems to captivate younger audiences.
