Do you need something for your fans of The Lightning Thief? Here you go. To me, it has the writing style of Lemony Snicket and Kate DiCamillo's The Tale of Despereaux, but with the same Greek mythology aspect as the Lightning Thief. I enjoyed it, and look forward to reading book 2.

Deanna recommended this on audio to me. IT WAS AWESOME.

Although it did make me talk in really weird ways for a while. Unit...

Don't listen to Deanna, this book is actually awesome.

I think it's an excellent choice for kids who started off reading Harry Potter but maybe the later books have a bit too much violence and stuff for them.

Winner, Chickadee Award 2008-2009

It won the Lupine Award last year, and I hope it wins the Chickadee Award this year. One of my favorite picture books.

It didn't win. It lost to another book. Nominated 2008-2009.
