Maia and Icarus James A. Perez

Maia Peterson was expecting the summer after seventh grade to be rather ordinary. All she had to look forward to was practicing lacrosse and playing her guitar. But when a fire damages the Peterson home, a secret is revealed that lands Maia halfway across the world in Greece. There, she meets a boy who is strangely awestruck in her presence and who can't seem to keep his foot out of his mouth. And he reveals another secret ? there is a hidden world in which the gods of Olympus continue to reign. Maia?s delight at seeing mischievous mermaids and winged horses quickly turns to fear as she finds herself in the middle of an age-old conflict with feuding gods on both sides. To survive, Maia must uncover the mystery of her heritage... and escape those who would use her as a pawn. Can she defy her fate and dare to fly?
