The exhilarating and romantic plot of Troy will captivate the mind of any young adult who picks it up and starts reading. Each scene is action-packed and suspenseful, but underneath it all are familiar themes. Young women especially can relate to the conflict of family loyalty versus romantic love when two sisters fall for the same man. The broad range of perspectives on the Trojan war—from the opinions of the lowly kitchen maids to the viewpoint of the almighty Zeus—allows readers to develop their own points of view. [Editors'note: As soon as readers finish Adele Geras's critically acclaimed novel based on the Iliad, they'll want to read its dramatic companion, Ithaka, a retelling of the Odyssey, so we're selling both as a set.] For ages 12-18.
