A muse on a mission, with Pocky at the wheel... Thalia: Era: "I want a mochaccino. I need one. C'mon, please?" Polly: "I have to admit, I'm kind of restless." Pocky: "We've only been driving for twenty minutes "
Buckle your seat belts The Muse sisters are on their first road trip -- and goddess knows, nothing about this Journey will be average. There's Thalia's secret agenda. Then there's Pocky, the pal who might catch on to their hidden identities.... And don't forget the disappearing parade floats, the alligator dogs, and the room full of upchucking party guests.
It's all in a day's magic for the muses. But have they gone too far?
Born a small non-denominational child in San Francisco, Clea's life quickly took a wrong turn and she ended up growing up in a town called Hollywood. Florida.
Clea has written 12 books for major publishers. She's concepted for major ad agencies and worked on campaigns for Target, Hello Kitty and a beer company that will remain nameless. Clea wrote girl-centric video games and answered an advice column for Girlsense.com, and now has a column and blog about shopping in San Diego over at City Beat. Clea even opened up a bar and restaurant in San Diego with a couple of partners. Random, right? But that's Clea. If there is one word that describes her, it's random. Oh, and short. Short and random. That's two words.
This juvenile/pre-teen series is beyond adorable. Its twist on the classic mythology keeps the young reader guessing. I absolutely loved the first two books when I was in elementary/middle school, and I'm only now finishing the series as an adult.
Even coming back to it years later, this series has some awesome attitude and a tone perfectly suited to its audience. The Furies' poems are funny and clever, Thalia's voice is distinct and fun to read, the plot (despite some shallow points) is light and entertaining.
