Title: Heroes of Olympus Percy Jackson Author: Rick Riordan Genre: Adventure. Plot brief summary: Percy Jackson is the son of Neptune he lost some of his memory .He went went to camp half blood but then he found himself at Lupas camp, so Lupa ( Lupa is a she-wolf) trained him and sent him to camp Jupiter which is a camp of people that a God as a parent.There was a girl called Hazel and a boy called Frank they had to go with Percy to Alaska to kill two giants that were the sons of Gaia the Goddess of nature. Gaia is evil so she had to stop Percy from killing her sons because if succeeded she would sleep for ever. Percy went to Alaska with Hazel and Frank, he killed the two Giants and defeated Gaia and got all of his memory back. Response: I liked the way Percy would encourage his friends and say things like, " You are the nicest kid of Pluto's I've met and I think you're the only." (Pluto is the god of war) or " Don't say that Frank your Grandma would have been proud of you." If I were Frank I wouldn't have burnt the stick (Frank has a stick and if that stick burns that is his life, he burnt some of the stick to free Thantos Pluto's assistant. Thantos catches souls.) I felt empathy with Hazel because she lost her mother and I have felt like that because my dog died but was really special. Recommendation: I would recommend it to a 10-16 year old because it is a thick book, has big words and likes roman things.

Response: I like the bit were it says:My head was so full of Mr Kidd and Mrs Pearce and tractor bonting dross that I completely forgotten about the flying sandwich and the death threat until Craterface lunged at me shouting ' Come here you little snotrag!' If I were Jimbo, I would not have dropped the piece of strawberry and cheddar sandwich on Craterface's face. Title: Noah Barleywater runs away.

His mother died shortly after that but ten years later he got a letter from the toy shop owner saying that he inherited the toy shop. He owned the shop and made every toy out of wood and nothing else. Response: I liked it how it started by 'Noah Barleywater ran away before the dogs woke and the dew dropped from the trees. if I were Noah Barleywater I wouldn't have ran away in the first place. I felt empathy for the toy shop owner because while he was making money by running all over the world, his father was dying.
