Praise for Warrior Queens

Praise for Anubis Speaks! by Vicky Alvear Schecter:
"At the heart of this imaginative tour of the afterworld of Egyptian mythology is the judgment of the dead . . . Anubis serves as a wickedly funny tour guide. This book is packed with information . . . Anubis's narration, plus the incredible wealth of interesting detail, could make this book a hit in any library." --School Library Journal

Praise for Thor Speaks! by Vicky Alvear Schecter:
"[An] entertainingly informal introduction to Norse legends." --Publishers Weekly
