The Lost Hero

This book is about 3 half bloods name Leo, Piper, Jason. Half bloods are people that are children of a mortal and a God. Piper, Jason and Leo have to go on a quest to save Harrah the queen of the gods. But mythological monsters chase them. This book mixes modern life with ancient Greek mythology. While on their quest they ride a bronze Dragon called Festus. The book first starts out when Jason wakes up on a bus with no idea where he is. I like this book because it mixes modern life with ancient Greek mythology. I'd also like to mention that this book is part of a series, The heroes of Olympus.

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone by J.K. Rowling

The book is about Harry. He is famous before he can walk because he survived Lord Voldemort. Harry is a wizard but he grows up in a normal family, muggles. At first he does not know he's a wizard, but when he gets a letter from Hogworts (a wizard school) he has to go. On the train he meets two other students, Ron and Hermione, ( they soon become his friends). When they get to Hogworts they find out about the Sorcerers Stone. Someone seems to be trying to steal it. After that they try to save the Sorcerers Stone which causes them to get into a lot of mischief. Though they aren't being mischivious on purpose, they do break some rules. I like how it coincides with the normal world. I thought it was a great book!

Framed

The book is about Griffin and his friends. Griffin has been framed, but by who? He and his friends try to solve the mystery but get Griffin into more trouble. In the end they find who did it but it's not what they expected. It's a good book and has a lot of funny parts. I enjoy the fact that his Dad is an inventor too!

Even though the cove has a dog on it, Griffin is not a dog. This is also part of a series. This is not the first book in the series, and there is an order. Read them: Swindle, Zoobreak, Framed, Showoff, Hideout, Jackpot. 

Flora & Ulysses The Illuminated Adventures by Kate DiCamillo

The book is about a girl named Flora and a squirrel, but no ordinary squirrel. This squirrel is a super hero or something. The squirrel can type poetry and fly. He only communicates by writing poems. Add he flies like Superman, but without a cape. The book is mostly about the adventures of Flora and the squirrel. It's very funny. I think it's different because of the way it's written. There are comics woven into the story. I thought it was a little boring because there isn't a lot of action and excitement. 

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.
