This isn't a Riordan Presents book, but it has the same feel, and would be something I'd happily hand to readers of Aru Shah and the like. A nicely paced adventure. I will say that for non-Jewish readers, it's a bit of a stretch, as not much is explained. One failing I will note is that while it's lovely to see a diverse cast of Jewish kids, (we're not all white Ashkenazim!) I wish there were a deeper understanding of what that diversity meant. There is much discussion of the persecution of Jews, why no mention of the intersectionality involved in being a Jew of color in America?
