Thank you, Capstone Press, for the advance reading copy.

This is a fun and short retelling based on Pandora’s box as the title tells!

I find the dialogues funny and the illustrations totally hilarious!

Do we get the story behind the box and how Pandora gets to live with the humans?

Yes, we do. But it’s really short I would say.

Have a fun time with the short fun graphic novel.

This series should become a staple in school libraries.

Akin to Horrible Histories, this has the potential to be a leading resource for young children to become interested in Greek mythology. The art and stories are adorable and age-appropriate, and I kinda wish I had kids to give this to.

Really enjoyed this. A retelling of the story of humanity, that began with the opening of Pandora’s Jar in the time of the Olympians, as the old gods receded and Zeus came into power. The portrayal was very much of our time, utilising contemporary vernacular and nods to the digital era. The story was perfectly targeted to the int need audience, and I really enjoyed the illustrations too!

As a myth loving child, I would have really loved this growing up. It has modern elements of #hastags, and some slang, but otherwise stays true to the basic myth most mythology buffs are familiar with. I loved at the end it had other versions of the myth as well, because I personally have heard different versions but it wasn’t until much later in life and after some digging around.

Any kid into mythology would probably enjoy this!

I would have loved this book as a child, especially when I was in my Greek Mythology phase. It does a great job of succinctly telling a long and not-so-child friendly story, in a way that can capture the interest of today's children quickly. There's fun modern aspects to it and great/funny illustrations.
