Circe by Madeline Miller
5.0

When I was in 5th and 6th grade, I was obsessed with Rick Riordan's Percy Jackson series (Percy was actually my first literary crush, haha). I had so much fun revisiting the stories of Greek Mythology with this book. Circe is beautifully written and I was pleasantly surprised with how much I enjoyed it. This tale is a reimanging of the classic mythology with adventure, romance, and even feminist undertones. If you are one of the people who has had this title on your list for awhile (like I did), I definitely recommend picking this one up!
