When Emily recommended a series based on Greek Mythology in the modern world I had to check it out. I read The Lightening Thief by Rick Riordan yesterday.
Yes, yesterday. I did have to finish the last couple chapters this morning, but the bulk of the 375 pages was yesterday. Which is why my poor husband cringes when he sees me pick up a new book.
Anyway, if you are like me and appreciate good books for kids that may actually help them get excited about that mythology unit in middle school, you should check them out. I'm going to start book 2 today - The Sea of Monsters.
Don't tell Rick.

Dang - I knew I liked you!! I have read LOTS of kiddie lit - especially as my kids are in middle and high school! Try "Peter and the Starcatchers" and "Peter and the Shadow Thieves" - they are co authored by Dave Barry- and they tell the backstory on Peter Pan - AWESOME!
Thanks Kate! Will have to have Em check those out, too. She's just started the Molly Moon series, so will be busy for a couple days anyway. :)
