The Odyssey (/ˈɒdəsi/; Greek: Ὀδύσσεια, Odýsseia) is one of two major ancient Greek epic poems attributed to Homer. It is, in part, a sequel to the Iliad, the other work ascribed to Homer. The poem is fundamental to the modern Western canon, and is the second oldest extant work of Western literature, the Iliad being the oldest. Scholars believe it was composed near the end of the 8th century BC, somewhere in Ionia, the Greek coastal region of Anatolia. - Wikipedia

This story has a somewhat more serious feel than the previous two. That's not to say that it doesn't have its truly funny moments, or that it's not as swoon-worthy as the other two (it totally is!).
But the stakes seem to be higher - at least for Grant - and so it's at least sort of understandable that he pulls some jerk moves. (The ensuing prank war has its moments, though!)
I like how Alex handles the adversity, and how she manages to win pretty much everyone over in the end.
Bonus points for Lucas and Casey, and of course for the other Tomboys. :)

One of my favorite quotes: "To hell with my heart. Alex Prince might stomp it to pieces, but maybe that’s what hearts were made for."

Le sigh.
