For anyone interested in little-known facts about historical figures and places it is fascinating. History lessons throughout. There are also moral lessons adults might need to revisit as well.

I read the whole series....I'd say unless you are under the age of 6 you shouldn't read this.. the first book was the best. Every single book was exactly the same.. they'd get an idea, meet some family member, freak out, and then go to the library?

I was at the library a couple of days ago and searched for the first book of this series. The one I found had a different title and was written from another author. I searched in a different library and it was still the same. So which one is the right one? This book from Rick Riordan or the other one? Thank you

This one, by Rick Riordan, is the first in the series. I have heard that you don't absolutely have to read the books in order but it is recommended because they do relate to each other. I hope this answers your question!(less)

Should an 11-year-old that STILL have nightmares read this?

Ruby Rose I don't know. I would say this is a pretty chill book, but there is some spots that might be a bit concerning. It also depends on what the 11 year old…moreI don't know. I would say this is a pretty chill book, but there is some spots that might be a bit concerning. It also depends on what the 11 year old reads. I would say that this book should be fine though. :)(less)
