About this ebook
Ethan and Ella have never been anywhere as cool—or as old—as Athens, Greece. Surrounded by crumbling buildings and ancient sculptures, the twins are excited to follow in their Grandpa Harry’s footsteps and explore the ruins. While they’re exploring, they stumble upon a mysterious painting on an underground wall. What is it? And what in the world is the Society of Apollo?
With easy-to-read language and illustrations on almost every page, the Greetings from Somewhere chapter books are perfect for beginning readers.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5My 6 year old twins and I loved this series SO much! We’d read a few chapters each night, then watch an “Are We There Yet” video by National Geographic - it really made the books come to life. These books have really made an impression on our family and we’ll read them again and again.

CHAPTER 1
A Strange Discovery
Ethan Briar stared wide-eyed at the creepy statue. It stared back at him in the dim light of the underground corridor.
Um, guys? What’s that?
Ethan asked nervously.
His twin sister, Ella, giggled when she saw it. I’m not sure. And is it a person or an animal?
Both!
their father, Andrew Briar, spoke up. This is Pan, one of the Greek gods. He’s part human and part goat.
"Isn’t he fascinating? their mother, Josephine Briar, said excitedly.
Dr. Pappas said they’ve already dug up ten statues at this site. So far, they’re all figures from Greek mythology, like Pan."
The Briars had just arrived at an archaeological dig in Athens, Greece. Dr. Pappas was in charge of the site, which was more than two thousand years old! As an archaeologist, she was an expert in artwork, weapons, and other items left behind by people from the past.
Mrs. Briar had gotten special permission for herself and Mr. Briar to help out with the excavation. She was a travel writer, and she planned to write an article about it. Mr. Briar was a history professor back home.
Back home
was a town called Brookeston in the United States. The Briars had been traveling around the world for many months now for Mrs. Briar’s job. The Brookeston Times had hired her to write a column called Journeys with Jo!
It was all about the different places their family was visiting, like Italy, France, China, Kenya, India, Peru, Australia, Alaska—and now Greece!
