Narrator Ramon de Ocampo fills this story with cartoonish voices and an astounding array of fart noises that are sure to thrill middle-grade fans of crude humor. Oddonis, Adonis's plain twin brother, is optimistic on his first day at Olympus Middle School, but the schoolyard cruelty of his god classmates squashes his hopes. With a band of misfit friends, he challenges his brother for the office of class president. De Ocampo finds earnest emotional beats to make the characters lovable, even the revolting Gaseous and Germes. While de Ocampo does his best to guide the listener through tricky audio adaptation elements, such as the audibly similar twins' names, there are holes in the narrative that clearly rely on illustrations. However, young listeners will likely be laughing too hard to notice. S.T.C. © AudioFile 2019, Portland, Maine

Oddonis may be the son of Zeus, but he's a little bit...odd for a God. He's so odd, in fact, he's not sure if he has any powers at all. And if that isn't enough, his twin brother Adonis is the most popular, most athletic, and most otherworldly handsome God of them all.

With the help of his friends Mathena (Goddess of math and poultry), Germes (God of all things sniffling and snotty), Puneous (the smallest God of them all), and Gaseous (enough said?), Oddonis is determined to win the race, prove that his friends are as*good as any Greek God, and maybe, just maybe, find out what his true powers really are.
