Carnegie Book Awards

Calling all year 9 studentsWe are running a shadowing group in L3 every Tuesday and Thursday Lunchtime.

Positives: This book is a fantastic opener to the sequel series, it brings back

some favourite characters from Camp Half-Blood whilst also interesting some

unique and interesting characters from both Greek and Roman mythology.

Negatives: Unfortunately this book does not feature Percy Jackson himself in

any main role, however he is reintroduced in the second book. The Lost Hero

is also longer than the Percy Jackson books, this is great for the most part, but

at times the story feels like it is going at too slow a pace.

Book Score: 8/10 – A solid start to the Heroes of Olympus book series, it’s

definitely worth a read if you have already finished the Percy Jackson and the

Olympians series.

Nobody Owens, known to his friends as Bod, is a perfectly normal boy. Well, he would be perfectly normal if he didn't live in a graveyard, being raised and educated by ghosts, with a solitary guardian who belongs to neither the world of the living nor the world of the dead.

There are dangers and adventures for Bod in the graveyard: the strange and terrible menace of the Sleer; a gravestone entrance to a desert that leads to the city of ghouls; friendship with a witch, and so much more.

But it is in the land of the living that real danger lurks, for it is there that the man Jack lives and he has already killed Bod's family.

We will give you a version of the book, it

might be a book, Graphic novel, electronic or

audio version
