The Battle of the Labyrinth (By: Rick Riordan)

This book is about a boy named Percy Jackson who is a half-blood (half human half god). The Titan lord Kronos is trying to take over mount Olympus. Percy Jackson and his friends must navigate through and underground maze called the Labyrinth, to try and find Kronos and stop him.

Hook: Imagine being 14 years old, half human, half god and you must go on an insanely dangerous quest with only a sword and you have to fight the titan lord. You are wondering how anybody can do this... well Percy Jackson is going to take a shot at it.

I would recommend this book to people in grade five and up. I would also recommend this book to people who enjoy adventure and Greek mythology.

The Battle of the Labyrinth is available at Kidsbooks, Book Warehouse and Mrs. Weintraub’s library.

My name is Seth and my book is called The Maze of Bones by Rick Riordan.

Summary: This book is about two kids named Amy and Dan Cahill whose parents died and they live with their wealthy grandmother Grace in her mansion. Everything is fine until she passes away as well. All of the Cahill family is brought to Grace’s mansion for her lawyer to explain her will. The lawyer says that there are two options: One is to take 1 million dollars and leave, or two is to get the first clue of thirty nine to make you the most powerful human being in all of history. Which one would you choose?

Hook: Imagine, your parents die and you leave with your grandmother and then she passes away. Then you are forced to live with your weird aunt. Your grandmother leaves a will for you for 1 million dollars. Or one clue to thirty nine more clues, that is, to be the most powerful human being in history. Hard decision am I right? Well Dan and Amy Cahill will have to make it.
