“Getting
young teens to appreciate ancient tales may be
difficult but Hennesy draws on the similarities of
that age group helping to bring the generations
together through the use of modern conversations and
an action filled plot.” -- The Leaf-Chronicle
(Clarksville, Tenn)
“Pandora Gets Vain is an enjoyable follow-up to
the first book, Pandora Gets Jealous, and will leave
you waiting anxiously for the next!” --

“All the imagination, mystical magic, adventure,
and colorful, larger than life characters you could
wish for are packed between the covers of Pandora
Gets Vain. It's a page-turning delight!” – Once Upon
A Romance Review (Online)
“Pandora and her friends continue their quest to
recover the evils that were accidentally released
from her box. Here, the young protagonists travel to
Egypt to track down vanity. Along the way, they
encounter sea storms, helpful dolphins, ancient
tombs, and a caravan of wonders, all the while being
threatened by the plotting goddess Hera. Although
set in classical times, this fantasy reads more like
a current-day adolescent adventure. The characters
use contemporary teenage idioms, making the text
accessible to readers, and a glossary of gods,
historical figures, and other relevant terms is
provided. Classical Greek and Egyptian religion and
history tread lightly in the story’s background, and
certain elements have been modernized (Pandy uses a
conch shell much like a cell phone). Action is
balanced with dialogue and description, and a
tongue-in-cheek tone casts a whimsical light upon
the overall events.”–School Library Journal
