After reading this book I realized that this would be a good book to read in my future class. It teaches the children to get through different obstacles and challenges. It was a slight confusing, but I really did enjoy the book overall. It had some really good points in the book that kept me going and reading.

Great book for a boy just starting to read chapter books. Based on Greek mythology, this adventure is engaging without being frightening.

Good enough mythology-twist for children, but the plot is not high-level enough for it truly to be considered "good"
