A QUIX Book

Illustrated by Yuyi Chen

About The Book

Join little Persephone for a sweet adventure in this sixth Little Goddess Girls story—part of the Aladdin QUIX line!

Persephone, Artemis, and Aphrodite are on a quest to save their fellow Little Goddess Girl, Athena, from the evil King Hephaestus.

The girls only have seven guesses as to what and where exactly they are—before their friend is stuck forever!
