This is the first book in a connecting series of Percy Jackson that Rick riordan wrote. In this book it is in the perspective of 3 other demigods going on a quest but they are new to this so the stakes felt higher than usual.

This is actually the first in the Sea Shell Harbor series but I read book 2 first. Loved book 2 and while I did enjoy this first story, it fell a little flat for me. Maybe by the time Miranda Liasson reached the second in the series she knew more of the town and where she wanted to go with the characters but this first one felt one dimensional. The grandmother was my favorite character; Hadley and Tony both felt like 2 characters would cut off their nose to spite their face. Instead of ever looking for solutions they are determined to see only the obstacles.

only 3/110 chapters in. seems pretty gooddd

Unlike the court/legal works, this is a story of winning football players, their coach.

Good book would read again

Malala, the 15 year old girl who spoke out against the Taliban’s restrictions against women and education while living in Mingora, Pakistan, was shot in the head. She recovered in England. Given the Nobel Peace Prize, this memoir tells of her life as a college student, her challenges with anxiety, panic attacks and PTSD. The loss of her school in Afghanistan r/t our withdrawal, brings an emotional and political slant on her story.

This book gripped me from the first chapter. By starting in the past and immediately making your heart ache for the family from the start, I felt invested. Iona is a bit chatty (well done with the writing, her nervous chatter definitely comes through) but the story was well written and the bonds that unite the characters make you long for the same

Good book, kept me engaged throughout

I thought it was very very very good

I love the lightning thief by Rick riordan. It has Greek mythology that was very interesting and even though I didn’t know anything about Greek mythology this book explained it well. The story was well written so I was hooked and read it very fast.
