Rick Riordan

Percy Jackson goes on a fantastic journey into mythology. He learns that he is the Sea God’s son and danger soon awaits him. When Zeus’ master lightning bolt is stolen, Percy is a suspect and has 10 days to find it and return it.

This book has fabulous detail, and once you start, you can’t put the book down. With angry gods, monsters, betrayal and tricks, Percy doesn’t know how he will ever complete the quest -- or if he will even just survive. Can he? Read the book and see!

“The Class Election From the Black Lagoon”

Mike Thaler

Hubie is running for class president against Doris.

My favorite part is when he has a nightmare about Doris winning the election and ruling the world on top of a big ice cream sundae. I think this book is for all ages because it is funny and amazing.
