In the follow up novel to OH. MY. GODS., seventeen-year-old Phoebe Petrolas, a descendent of the Greek goddess Nike, can't seem to control her newly discovered super powers. When the Gods decide she will need to face a test on the Summer Solstice, her stepfather enrolls her in Goddess Boot Camp, a training ground for those who have not yet mastered their powers.
It seems like a lousy way to spend two weeks and only gets worse when on the first day of camp Phoebe learns the other campers are much younger than her, ten- to twelve- years old and the camp counselors are her foils: Stella, her stepsister and Adara, her boyfriend's ex. When a family secret surrounding Phoebe's real father seems like it might be revealed, Phoebe's emotional stress increases to Olympic proportions. Now she needs to keep it together, so she can learn to manage her powers as the clock ticks toward her big test day.
Tera Lynn Childs has written a light and funny book with an imaginative world based on the island where descendants of the gods train and go to school. GODDESS BOOT CAMP has all the typical high school dramas--cliques, boyfriends and such--with an otherworldly twist.

Pheobe's having problems controlling her magical powers. Often, what she's thinking transforms in her everyday life.
The gods aren't happy. She's scared they'll kill her on the spot (after what happened with her father).
Damian enrolled her in Goddess Boot Camp before heading on his honeymoon. He forgot to tell her the average age of the campers before he left. Now, Pheobe's desperately trying to keep her powers under control in front of a bunch of 10-year-olds.
She's also worried about passing a test from the gods, a possible cheating boyfriend, and her snarky stepsister.
The addition of Pheobe's powers to the story adds humor as she struggles to control them. The sequel to OH. MY. GODS. continues its delightful magical, mythological tale.

Do you want to read a super story with sassy characters and a great plot? Then you should probably read THIS book.
I love love loved this story, and I couldn't put it down. The author has a way with words that will make you laugh out loud and fall in love all at the same time.
An Exciting Sequel filled with Drama, Mystery and Fun Powers June 2, 2010
Rachel Kramer Bussel (New York City)
I liked this sequel even better than the first one. Here, Phoebe knows she has powers, but has to go to Goddess Boot Camp to learn how to use them (her mishaps are entertaining to observe, however). Boot camp is populated mostly by little girls, along with her stepsister and her rival and a boy she can't quite figure out. Meanwhile, her fears that she will be like her dad and abuse her powers haunt her, while someone is trying to send her secret messages about her dad. Childs delves lightly into Greek history to pull off a sweet story complete with drama, mystery, romance, betrayal as Phoebe tries to figure out who her real friends are and to access her true strength.
Once again, Phoebe, a descendant of Nike, turns to running for salvation, strengh and time to think, and Childs' descriptions of the power she gains from the sheer effort and show of skill stand out. The stepsibling rivalry, not to mention some very fun powers (visiocryption, anyone?), add to the joys of this book that leaves you guessing on the little things even as you root for Phoebe.

I could hardly wait for Tera Lynn's Childs sequal to Oh My Gods to come out. I was not disappointed. I will buy it for my Kindle DX. Thought Godess Boot Camp is geared for youth, an adult with will find it as endearing as the entire Harry Potter series. Great to find a new and exciting author. Can't wait until further books in the series and other books by this author.
