I thought this book was really good. It was detailed and magical. I like magical books, so I recommend this book to anyone who likes fairy tails and magical creatures.

The Titan’s Curse

Riordan, Rick. The Titan’s Curse. New York: Miramax Books, 2007. 312 pages. (Fantasy Series)

The main characters in The Titan’s Curse are: Percy, Grover, Zoe, Bianca, and Thalia. This story takes place all across the United States. The main problem that these people faced was that Annabeth, Percy’s friend, was missing, because she was kidnapped by a monster. How the main characters solved this problem was by going all the way across the country to San Francisco to search for her, and found her on top of a mountain. Another interesting thing that happens in this novel is: some sea animal called an Ophiotauras, who Percy named Bessie, has the power to destroy the gods.
This book is the third book in the series of Percy Jackson and the Olympians. It is followed by The Lightning Thief and The Sea Of Monsters. Nothing in the book, or any in the series, has ever happened to me. I definitely recommend this book for readers who like fantasy, because it is very strange, and very exciting. I selected this because I liked the first two books in the series, and I thought I would like this one too. {And I did.} I would read any book by this author, since he has a very good imagination. If I had to give this book a one word label, I would say fantastic. I like fantasy, and it is a very good fantasy book.

Inside the Walls of Troy


McLauren, Clemence. Inside the Walls of Troy. NY: Laurel Leaf, 1996. 199 pages. (Myths / Poem Review)


Kidnapped

She was taken on a wild journey
Helen's her name

12, she was taken
And arranged to be married
Because of her beauty

Helen's true love
Has a sister named
Cassandra

As their friendship grows
They wonder if
It's a gift or curse

Lving in troy
She still lives
As a beauty

This book is a great book and that has to do with drama and love and action. When things happen they are not small events but fun and exciting .When Helen was taken at age 12, she was taken because she was the most beautiful girl in the city. Every one wanted her to be her bride. I would tell anyone to read this book.
