Percy Returns!

Percy’s been in months of slumber. Just like Jason from the last book, he's had his memory wiped by Juno (or Hera, whatever) and has been sent to another camp, camp Jupiter, a roman camp, to unite the Greeks and Romans.  He's also got new friends at his side, and he's going to need all the help he can get. They have been sent to unleash the god of death, Death, since without him the demigod’s enemies cannot die and just continue to re-form, although the demigod’s can’t say the same for themselves.     They also have to get past the newly re-born giants, eventually to try to defeat the evil earth goddess in later books who basically wants to destroy all human civilization, all within one week. That’s what the new book, The Son of Neptune is all about.

I love this book and I’m sure you will too. Rick Riordan does a great job mixing the myths of old with modern technology. Such as saying the amazon warriors from Greece run Amazon, the online shopping service. He creates his own world of demigods such as Percy and monsters as if it’s right behind our backs. Its action packed and funny, and practically no moment is dull! They face a lot of challenges along the way like the giant born to kill Hades. The only problem is he’s immortal in his birthplace, Alaska.

Once you begin you can’t seem to stop reading, always wanting to know what happens next. I think this book is great and I recommend this to anyone who likes adventure, or who just likes a good story. Trust me, it’s a great book!

They were missing- but now are found

Found: By Margret Peterson Haddix
Jonah always knew he was adopted. He never really did mind much about it, he was happy with his family. But then when he and his best friend Chip, who is also adopted, but who never knew it before, start getting strange letters such as, "You Are One of the missing", and want to learn more. When they talk to an FBI agent who is said to have something to do with their adoption, they learn that he is keeping secrets. Chip and Jonah learn that they where on-board a plane which unexpectedly landed at the sky trails airport. After speaking with a witness of the occurrence who has a crazy theory  they learn that there is much, much more behind it, with mysterious disappearing invaders and time traveling kidnappers.
              This is an amazing mystery book with many thrilling twists, turns, and plot changes! It is filled to the brim with mystery, action, and Sci-fi time travel! The author does an amazing job telling the amazing and creative story, that will have people dream of what the world might hold.
