Description

Atalanta is as strong and brave as a bear-and she's determined to be a warrior! However, the boring men in her life have other plans. When her dad tries to push her into marriage, she agrees on one condition. First, someone must beat her in a race! Is Atalanta fast enough to outrun her fate?

ABOUT THE SERIES: Greek Myths and Legends Retold for Children brings the timeless tales of the Greek pantheon to life for a younger generation through cleverly reworked text and playful line illustrations. Told with wit and panache, Claudia Martin's storytelling retains the humour and charm of the original tales while simplifying and clarifying the language and plots to make them accessible to children.
