RICK RIORDAN DEMIGOD DAY EVENT

dad blogger
My ten year old son is a big fan of Rick Riordan's PERCY JACKSON & THE OLYMPIANS stories having read the books, seen the two movies based on the novels, and even gone to see the Broadway in Detroit production of The Lightning Thief. Riordan's books are great for tween-aged readers ( 8 - 12 years old) who are at a middle grade reading level where children's picture books are too simplistic and young adult material may be too advanced.  Riordan's stories have modern day kids become involved in adventures with the characters and creatures from ancient Greek mythology.

My son having finished reading Percy Jackson's Camp Half-Blood chronicles is just now getting ready to read the sequel series THE TRIALS OF APOLLO. These books are written as a sequel to the Percy Jackson stories referring back to those adventures while moving ahead introducing new characters and situations.  Rick Riordan provides some fantastic tales that capture kids attention, inspire their imaginations and get them enjoying reading. Great middle grade reads written especially to be enjoyed by those in fourth through eighth grades.
