A Goddess Iris Origin Story for Early Readers

MEET IRIS!

Iris lives with her parents beside the ocean. Every day, she waters the clouds to make it rain so the plants will grow.

WHEN A BOY ARRIVES FROM OLYMPUS…

Iris is tasked with helping to solve a mystery: Zeus’s daughters have accused each other of lying, but each argues they are telling the truth. Their friendship is in peril and the tension is causing mayhem on Olympus!

Iris must find a magical river, whose water will make anyone who drinks it tell the truth, and bring it back to Olympus.

THERE’S JUST ONE PROBLEM…

She must go to the Underworld—a dark, terrifying place filled with dangerous monsters—to get it.

IRIS SOON LEARNS OF ANOTHER MYSTERY…

Hades, the god of the Underworld, is angry with Zeus, and no one knows why.

CAN IRIS FACE HER FEARS AND UNCOVER THE TRUTH?
