About this ebook
Aphrodite is excited to be on an adventure to Sparkle City with her new friends, Athena, Persephone, and Artemis. After being rescued from her magical sea shell, Aphrodite hopes the super-duper powerful Zeus can give her the gift of likeability. Aphrodite knows that will make her be a better friend, especially to the girls she met on the Hello Brick Road. But when she finds a magical, gold apple along the way, something makes her keep it a big secret from the others. Will those magical powers help Aphrodite with her big ask for Zeus? Or will Aphrodite discover a very different kind of magic—the magic of friendship—is most important of all?

On the Road
Aphrodite rolled her neck from side to side. Swish went her long golden hair. Then she circled her arms in the air. "Feels sooo good to be able to stretch," she told Athena and Persephone. She had met these two new friends only yesterday here in the magical land of Mount Olympus. Both were eight years old, like her.
Because of a magic spell, she’d been locked inside a giant shell. She hadn’t been able to move around much. So no wonder stretching felt good to her!
