Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief

Rick Riordan

A Mythological Tale for All Readers”

“A Greek Demigod who’s quest will decide if WWIII breaks out.”

I thought is was an amazing mythological tale that will grasp a reader’s attention if they love Greek Myths and action.

Wings of Fire: The Hive Queen

A New Mystery On Every Page!!

A Dragon Named Cricket, Discovering The Mystery’s Of Her Life, and Learning That The Truth Won’t Matter If You Don’t Share It.

I thought that this really uncovers the questions in the book before this one. But, also gives you a new mystery to uncover at the same time, it really made me never want to put it down until I finished it. And the way Cricket takes in information and puts it up against what she knows. This series is a must read for all Dragon Lovers. My favorite quote from Cricket is ” The Truth Doesn’t Matter If You Don’t Share It”.
