Pandora Atheneus Andromaeche Helena, “Pandy” to her friends and family, has already saved the world from

Vanity and Jealousy. The fact that she let them loose on the world in the first place is really just a tiny detail.

Pandy is the only daughter of the Titan, Prometheus, and she is in trouble with Zeus. Due to an unfortunate incident

at school, all the evils of the world have been released from a box that was entrusted to her father. Zeus has

ordered that Pandora find each of them in order to save the world, and her family. Pandy, along with her friends

Alcie, Iole, and Homer, are now headed to the Atlas Mountains to capture Laziness.

The goddess Hera, wife of Zeus, is still determined that Pandora will fail on her quest. This time Hera has taken

Pandy’s dog, Dido. But, while the other gods are sympathetic to Pandy, nobody would dare to interfere with Zeus

or Hera. Not right out in the open anyway.

Early on this journey, Pandy becomes separated from her friends. She befriends two young boys on her way and

finds herself captured and chained to them. Unknown captors are leading Pandy to an unknown destination, and

she is surrounded by danger every step of the way.

While Pandy is being led through the dark and dangerous path to the mountain Jbel Toubkal, Alcie, Iole, and

Homer find themselves aboard the ship

Syracusa

with problems of their own. They are on the ship with one of the

evils and now they must capture Misery on their own.

And, high in the Atlas Mountains, Pandy will come face to face with her uncle, Atlas. It is the fate of Atlas to hold

up the heavens but something has changed and human men are being forced to carry his load. Once again, it is up

to Pandy to save her friends, her family, and every human on earth while finding the evils of the world. All while her

time is quickly running out.

The

MYTHIC MISS-ADVENTURE series are books about ancient places and characters with a very humorous

and modern touch. The first two books in the series,

PANDORA GETS JEALOUS

and PANDORA GETS

VAIN, offer an introduction and further adventures of Pandy and her friends, but each book can be enjoyed just as

much on its own.

PANDORA GETS LAZY is as funny and adventurous as the previous books and Pandora and her friends are

even more endearing with each book.
