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.

The book that Kronos takes over... or at least he tries to.


In one part of this book, Annabeth said, "Poison on the dagger, stupid of me, right?"  That was one of my favorite parts.

This is the last book of the series!  I was disappointed that the series was over, but Rick Riordan still has Kane Chronicals and the Heroes of Olympus Chronicals.  Speaking of Kane Chronicals, I'm reading the first Kane Chronicals book now.

The Last Hero Graphic Novel



This is the second series that Rick Riordon published. Can you guess which book will be next? The main characters are: Leo, son of Hephestas, Jason, Son of Zeus, and Piper, daughter of Aphrodite.

Sorry about the missing photo.


Percy Jackson the Ultimate Guide



This book is about Percy Jackson, gods, and other things in Greek Mythology.

There were some unexpected pictures I thought would be different. Typhon was a swirly mist monster. The son of Helios was kind of like Typhon, but yellow, and he had a symbol of the sun on his breastplate. 

There was even a mini-labyrinth, which I didn't finish.  I also liked the holographic cover. (You can see both holographic pictures of the cover.)

The fourth book of Percy Jackson

In this book Percy finds Daedalus's Labrinth. He used a pseudonym and called himself Quintis. I never could've guessed that he bleeds oil because he is an Automaton made by Hephaestus.  But there was something strange about him, because he avoided death for 2,000 years.

The book of Myths and Legends



I liked this book because of the text features and the mythical creatures.  There were cool pictures in here. The Chimera was one of my favorites.

Greek Heroes!



 I liked the book because it's about heroes. In the book, I learned that Pandora let Hope out of the box by locking Foreboding in.  My other book said that she locked Hope in the box.

This is a book about the whole Pantheon.

Stories Of Greek Heroes

Stories Of Greek Heroes.



I wanted to read this book because I like Greek mythology. I also liked it because it tells 6 stories about heroes. 

I like Jason And The Argonauts because it includes all of the heroes and they sailed through the Clashing Islands.

How I Got The Idea Of My Breakfast.

In this book I got an idea to make a cheese sandwich from when Percy "said " Chiron greeted us at the Big House with hot chocolate and toasted cheese sandwiches.
It was delicious and crunchy.

Percy Jackson and his Greek gods


There was one time that Percy said Gaea, Mother Earth "liked to walk across the earth- which was basically walking across herself- in the shape of a matronly woman with a flowing green dress, curly black hair, and a serene smile on her face."

In my opinion, that was pretty funny! This book is a collection of stories about the greek gods: Zeus, Hera, Demeter, Hades, Poseidon, Athena, Aphrodite, Ares, Hephaestus, Apollo, Artemis, Hermes and  Dionysus.

Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters



 
(Don't mind that hand.)

I love this book! I bet everyone would love it.

Like the last book, Percy goes on a quest.  In the second book, Percy sneaks out of the camp to get the Golden Fleece from Polyphemus himself.  He also learns that he has a Cyclops for a brother.  

As I was saying, Percy gets the Golden Fleece to revive Thalia's tree.

Percy Jackson: The Lightning Thief


Percy Jackson didn't know he was a Half-Blood until he went to Half-Blood Hill*.  Percy learned that he was a son of Poseidon!

He was the prime suspect of the Gods that he stole Zeus's lightning bolt, but Ares was the actual lightning thief.


*By the way, that's a camp.
