Percy Jackson fans: check these out!

Mythology mania has been hitting the bookshelves and movie screens lately, especially with such popular (and well written) books as the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series by Rick Riordan.

I want you to know about a great series by Mary Pope Osborne (of The Magic Tree House fame).

Tales from the Odyssey offers several volumes of mythologican adventure for middle readers. These books are excellent for the 2nd-4th grade reader that love mythology. They would also be good reads for struggling readers (or readers that are catching up) in 5th and 6th grade.

The series consists of these titles:

Volume #1: The One-Eyed Giant       

          

 Volume #2: The Land of the Dead

Volume #3: Sirens and Sea Monsters

Volume #4: The Gray-Eyed Goddess

Volume #5: Return to Ithaca

Volume #6: The Final Battle

 These books are available to GDS families in the Lower School Library.
