The House of Hades / Rick Riordan / 597 pages

Riordan reels you in with his fast-paced action adventure books in the Heroes of Olympus series. The Roman & Greek demigods must join forces to travel to the House of Hades to rescue their friends Percy & Annabeth who fell into Tartarus in the last book.  All kinds of monsters, smooth-talking demi-gods, and some secrets revealed make this a great read.  I even read the glossary with the definitions of the Greek & Roman gods and vocabulary.  Yeah for kids who can't wait to read books that are nearly 600 pages long...awesome.  PS Now that the demigods are older there is some mild kissing...wonder if that's going to turn off our boy readers?
