D'Aulaires' Book of Greek Myths






This is a book about Greek myths. One is about Echo, Who was a talkative nymph. Hera cursed her to repeat the last words of others. Another one is about Io, who was turned into a cow to escape Hera's wrath, and was guarded by Argus, the 1,000 eyed guard of Io. 

I personally like this book because I like myths.

Sea of Monsters graphic novel


This is the second graphic novel of Percy Jackson.   Graphic novels are like silent movies, because they have pictures.  

In this book Percy, Annabeth, and Tyson go on a quest to save Grover, well, Percy does. And they also get the Golden Fleece.  The original  retriever of the Golden Fleece was Jason.

The pictures were comical.


Heroes of Olympus: Son of Neptune


In the Son of Neptune, at the beginning, Percy had to fight Gorgons.  Percy goes to Camp Jupiter and is greeted by new friends.  This is the third Heroes of Olympus book.

It was interesting when I found out Frank's life depended on a burnt stick.  Frank is related to Meleager.

Heroes Of Olympus: The Lost Hero




Jason, son of Zeus, has an Imperial Gold coin that he can flip.  If it lands on one side, it turns into sword made of Imperial Gold. If it lands on the other side, it turns into a lance made of Imperial Gold.  

Leo, son of Hephestus, has a rechargeable magic tool belt.  He can ask for anything and put his hand into his tool belt and pull it out.  If it's something too big, he can't pull it out. Once he said, "Gimme the biggest hammer you've got."  The tool belt gave him a hammer that you use to beat a drum.

Piper, daughter of Aphrodite, can charm-speak anyone or anything into doing what she wants them to.  Not many children of Aphrodite can charm-speak.  So it's either a blessing or a warning.  So if you find yourself telling anyone to do something and they do it instantly, you might be a child of Aphrodite!
