About This Book
Reach for this book when your child starts asking big questions about fairness, heroism, and the consequences of our choices. It is perfect for the elementary student who is transitioning into longer stories and shows a growing interest in history or legendary battles. This retelling of the Trojan War introduces the vast scale of Greek mythology in a way that feels manageable rather than overwhelming. The story follows the ten-year siege of Troy, from the initial spark of the Golden Apple to the clever deception of the Wooden Horse. While it features epic clashes and legendary figures like Achilles and Hector, the narrative focuses on emotional themes of loyalty, the dangers of pride, and the power of ingenuity. It provides a safe way to explore complex human behaviors and the idea that being 'strong' is not always as effective as being 'clever.'
