Spinner Spins Stories

Both of Spinners books, Quiver and QuickSilver, have been in our library for quite some time (they were published in 2002 and 2005 respectively). I am embarrased as an avid reader and particularily a reader of mythology that I did not find these treasures sooner. If it was not for our amazing librarian,Mrs. Arnold, I probably would have missed out on these well-written, entertaining and original stories. Stephanie Spinner reinterprets several myths - some more recognizable than others. While she maintains the integrity of the Greek characters, she spins tales so amusing that you will want more. Readers of mythology will be in awe of her witty narration and new comers will find many connections to the afflictions that haunt us all. This is a must read for all readers who enjoy Greek mythology!
