Season 6 of The Wonder Podcast is all about books for newly independent readers, be they murder mysteries, comics, or science fiction. This week we recommend to you the Greek myths, specifically Homer's The Odyssey brilliantly retold by the British author Geraldine McCaughrean. It's a slim book but the stories practically sing on the page such is the vivacity of McCaughrean's retelling. They are for every child, startling and exciting. Or, indeed, for every parent to read aloud to and share with their children.
