From the Publisher
It is said that if one stares at the head of Medusa, he or she will turn to stone, but Cleo, not believing the legend, does just that and is instantly turned into a statue! Now her brother Phaidon and uncle are on a grand adventure that takes them through ancient Greece as they attempt to turn Cleo back into a mortal. Will Phaidon's song to the sea god have the power to bring Cleo back to life?

4.0 out of 5 stars
Good reading if you like adventure and Greek Mythology.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Singer to the Sea God (Spiral-bound)
Would you rather be a well-fed slave with a place to sleep or a free man who knows not where he will rest or how he will eat? That is one question which crops up in this adventure story about a young boy and his companions who escape slavery only to find a harsh, superstitious world. I thoroughly enjoyed this tale and would recommend it to any middle schooler interested in Greek times and people. The characters win your affection and the story transports you back to this primitive time when men believed in oracles and the wiles of the Gods.

Singer to the Sea God,
By A Customer
This review is from: Singer to the Sea God (Spiral-bound)
This book got a little boring and confusing, but the end was enjoyable, suspenseful, and exciting. I don't recommend it to people under 12. It's too boring for someone younger than that age. I, 14, liked it a little. I used it as a book report book, which worked out well because the plot is very obvious.

Pretty good book!,
A Kid's Review
This review is from: Singer to the Sea God (Hardcover)
Singer to the Sea God was a pretty good book. I had to read it for my reading comprehension class. It is partially confusing. I don't recommend anybody under middle school ages to read this book. One trilogy I recommend is The Lost years of Merlin. Those books are excellent and very addicting! Thank you for listening!
