It is everything I love in fantasy- mythology, magic, adventure, mystery, suspense, action, a great plot and great characters!
This book is not new. I don't know how it slipped past me when it was first published. There aren't a lot of copies of this series in the MCFLS system, so I know that this just did not get the buzz it deserved when it was first published in 2008.
I have started to read the third installment. What I think is very cool about this series, is that all the characters are from history- either real or legend. World Mythology is abundant in this series and it is very interesting to research the characters to learn more about them. So much so that I am going to do it at the library! So, look for a new reading challenge for 5th grade and up involving this series.
Although this book is found in our YA section, it is only because the main characters are 15 years-old. This series is definitely appropriate for 5th grade and up! So, check it out!
