I really enjoyed this one. As usual, Riordan hits it out of the park. Apollo is still a fantastic character, even if you know that he would drive you nuts in real life. I'm enjoying him slowly learn about the lives of mortals and demigods, and how it is changing him a bit. New characters were pretty awesome, and I love time spent with Calypso and Leo. The book definitely ends in an interesting place, and I can't wait to read the next one!

Apparently I like Ms. Creech a lot better during her poetic narratives than her prose work? Or maybe I'm just a fan of books about Maine that feel true to the setting. Either way, this was an excellent story about that fish-out-of-water experience. I loved Zora the cow so much.

A must read for the Hamilton fan.

I enjoyed this one, but for other readers, I will give some caveats. The story is different than the play. It is also different from actual history. (Of course, the play is too.) I think if you are looking for a lighthearted historical romance in the modern vernacular you will enjoy it.

I will read anything Tonatiuh illustrates. I enjoyed learning about a new musician and a sound artist. So cool.

Nice stories. It was good to see non-hetero relationships in "good" settings but I wish there were more in the main story, rather than these side stories.

Pretty good. I enjoyed the mystery and I think kids will too. I do have some issues with Albert's characterization (I agree with the reviewers who have reservations about how her weight is treated) but overall I thought it was excellent.

I loved it! It's definitely a great gift for the teachers that have been special in your child's life.

Cute.

While I didn't like this as much as his previous book about Jimi Hendrix, this book is an excellent introduction to Billie Holiday and the song. I think it treats the subject of lynching with the respect it deserves, while also not being too much for the age group it is aimed at to handle.
