The mischievous god of love is prone to bring sleepless nights, embarrassing poetry and nausea when he breaks out of his bow and quiver. This romantic, hilarious drama by a Newbery Honor-winning author catches Cupid in love with himself and crossing his mother, Venus. It follows the god of love to heartache and humility, helping readers navigate their own passions. “This is Cupid and Psyche as you've never seen them before. Julius Lester tells the story in a completely fresh way, from the point of view of a wise and witty modern-day narrator,” Amanda Marples, trade marketing manager for Harcourt, told TDmonthly. Launch date: January 2007.
