This review is from: Nightsong (Hardcover)

Michael Cadnum's NIGHTSONG: THE LEGEND OF ORPHEUS AND EURYDICE is adapted from Ovid's Metamorphoses and rewrites the love story with young audiences in advanced elementary to early middle school grades. Orpheus the musician-poet has fallen in love with the princess Eurydice, who agrees to marry him but is killed on their wedding day. Can Orpheus journey into the Underworld and find her? Many an adult will find this retelling poignant and accessible.
