Jake and Lily

The book is about how Jake goes off to play with a gang of boys. Jake and Lily are twins. Lily can't  live without Jake because they have a special connection between them.  For example if Lily was at a friend's house and randomly yelled "stuck",  it could mean that Jake could be stuck in their back yard!They call their special connection "goombla". In the end Jake and Lily both meet new best friends. Some of the parts are sad and funny. At one point in the story Jake is being tricked into being a bully and calling people names that are different, I found this sad. But it is funny when Jake and Lily are blowing out their candles on their sixth birthday cake and Lily burps. I like how the chapters flip back and forth between two people. This book won the MCBA award. 

The Mark of Athena

In the book seven half bloods go on a quest to save Rome from two giants and follow the Mark of Athena. The Mark of Athena is a quest that children of Athena take to get back a giant statue of Athena that was stollen. There are three challenges to overcome. Most children of Athena fail because they hate spiders and a giant one is guarding the statue. They travel in a giant war ship.They also fight giants that are trying to take over the world! I like the book because there were so many characters.

The Son of Neptune

I think the book was good, but you may not like it because Percy has no memory. In the book Percy finds another camp. It is a Roman camp. Percy goes on a quest with two friends to defeat a giant that is rising and to get the camp's eagle back. The camp protects the eagle with their lives because it has special powers.The wolf, Laputa, took Percy's memory because she did not want Percy to remember the Greek's camp, she wanted Percy to help join the camps.
