Summary

Arthur and Buster are into the Vegemorphs series which they think is better than the Scare-Your-Pants-Off-Books. D.W. says she can tell a better story than the Vegemorphs to which Arthur disagrees. With some help from Grandma Thora, she retells "The Odyssey" to prove that not all stories have to be written down.
