Reviews
I personally didn't like this book as much but I did like the concept the it was a fact fiction book and I loved all the characters. If I would recommend this to someone else it would be one of my friends from school who played the Oracle in our year 5 play called Hercules and Phoebe because she still likes pretending she is the Oracle when we are outside in the playground.
