Mythic Misadventures Series by Carolyn Hennesy

13-year-old Pandora Atheneus Andromaeche Helena (or Pandy, for short) has no idea what she'll bring for her school project. By accident she discovers a simple box, said to contain something so terrifying and horrible that no one must ever, ever touch it for fear of inflicting all of mankind with the wrath of the Gods and Goddesses. This, of course, makes the box the perfect thing for Pandora to bring for her school project... more13-year-old Pandora Atheneus Andromaeche Helena (or Pandy, for short) has no idea what she'll bring for her school project. By accident she discovers a simple box, said to contain something so terrifying and horrible that no one must ever, ever touch it for fear of inflicting all of mankind with the wrath of the Gods and Goddesses. This, of course, makes the box the perfect thing for Pandora to bring for her school project. Unfortunately, things don't go quite the way she was hoping, and the box accidentally gets opened, unleashing all kinds of evil and misery into the world. Hauled before Zeus, Hera and the rest of immortals, Pandy's given the task of collecting all the evils within a year's time. less

Welcome to the craziest field trip ever! Pandora and her BFFs, Alcie and Iole, are on the hunt for the next evil, vanity, which is one of the seven evils Pandora released (oops!) and which is now hiding in Egypt. As usual, the goddess Hera is so not helping and throws as many obstacles as she can in their way. It's totally distracting not to mention life-threatening!-and they keep getting pulled off course... moreWelcome to the craziest field trip ever! Pandora and her BFFs, Alcie and Iole, are on the hunt for the next evil, vanity, which is one of the seven evils Pandora released (oops!) and which is now hiding in Egypt. As usual, the goddess Hera is so not helping and throws as many obstacles as she can in their way. It's totally distracting not to mention life-threatening!-and they keep getting pulled off course. Fortunately the other gods and goddesses aren't nearly as nasty as Hera, and they secretly help out the Pandy and her friends (including a new, totally adorable boy-slash-bodyguard) see it all, from a wild thunderstorm at sea and a group of talking dolphins to an . . . um . . . eye-thingy monster that's just really, really scary. It sounds crazy, but don't worry: Pandy can handle it . . . right? less

For Pandora and her best friends, Iole, Alcie, and Homer, capturing Jealousy was intense. And then wrestling with Vanity in Egypt was even crazier. So finding their next evil, Laziness, somewhere in the Atlas Mountains has got to be a little easier, right? Yeah...right Ancient Greece's coolest teenager is totally not prepared for what's to thrown at her. Hera's stolen her beloved dog... moreFor Pandora and her best friends, Iole, Alcie, and Homer, capturing Jealousy was intense. And then wrestling with Vanity in Egypt was even crazier. So finding their next evil, Laziness, somewhere in the Atlas Mountains has got to be a little easier, right? Yeah...right Ancient Greece's coolest teenager is totally not prepared for what's to thrown at her. Hera's stolen her beloved dog. Dido; she's separated from her best friends almost immediately; and to top it all off, she's suddenly captured by Goddess-knows-who to do Goddess-knows-what! It's a lot for one girl to handle, and Pandy's not sure she can face it alone. But don't send her down the River Styx just yet: with supernatural help from Mount Olympus and her ever-increasing power of fire, Pandora's got the tools the save the world. Lets just hope she gets there in time to do it. less

Pandora and her friends Alcie, Iole, and Homer are practically evil-hunting experts. Jealousy, Vanity, and Laziness are all safely in the box and they already know Lust is lurking on Mount Pelion, so this fourth task should be super easy. Just one teeny tiny problem: the evil is hiding at a wedding that took place 1,300 years ago. Luckily, the messenger god, Hermes steps in to help Pandy and her friends travel back in time—with just one rule: don’t change anything... morePandora and her friends Alcie, Iole, and Homer are practically evil-hunting experts.

Just one teeny tiny problem: the evil is hiding at a wedding that took place 1,300 years ago. Luckily, the messenger god, Hermes steps in to help Pandy and her friends travel back in time—with just one rule: don’t change anything. At the wedding, they recognize most of the gods and goddesses, but nobody recognizes them. (Duh, they haven’t been born yet.) So they can search for the evil without drawing attention to themselves. But then Lust appears in the middle of a fateful argument between three of the most powerful goddesses. There’s no way Pandora can capture the evil without making a big scene. And worse, if she takes it at the wrong moment, she won’t just change the course of history—she’ll be history. Yup, this quest is totally under control . . . gulp! less

In the garden, where genies hide their treasure, there is a lamp that was once used to imprison an angry genie.
