Teens recommend books by Rick Riordan

Summer reading ended on Saturday. Teens turned in over 100 Recommended Read slips with their picks on what to read over the summer. Rick Riordan is one author whose books continued to pop up on the Recommended Read entries. He is the author of Percy Jackson and the Olympians, Heroes of Olympus, and Kane Chronicles series. Here teens explain why his books are so great:

The Lightning Thief: "It puts a whole different spin on the Greek Gods and myths." -- Kenyan "I'm sure almost everyone has read this book but this recommendation is for those who haven't! This book itself is a great book and so are the books that follow in the series. It's also historical!" -- Glorielly
	The Serpent's Shadow: "It corporates Egyptian mythology into a modern culture, which causes some very interesting scenarios. The characters are well formed, and described aptly enough so that one can feel for their trials and troubles." -- Hannah
The Battle of the Labyrinth: "Rick Riordan does an excellent job continuing his story. He also has some very well-placed sarcasm and very 'teen' remarks." -- Kenyan
	The Son of Neptune: "Every chapter makes you want to read more and more." - Stephanie
The Titan's Curse "I love Greek mythology. The book includes some of the actual Greek myths and Gods and Goddesses." -- Bailey
