A NEW SERIES

Katherine, Children's Librarian from Pacific Park likes:

Finished reading The Last Olympian and looking for more Greek mythology from author Rick Riordan? Well, the search is over. Riordan has begun a fantastic new series called The Heroes of Olympus with the first book The Lost Hero. The story is set just one year after the battle of the Titans. Percy has gone missing and Annabeth, sick with worry, is led to three new powerful demigods, Jason, Piper and Leo. Told from points-of-view of Jason, Piper and Leo, the three must undertake a quest to save one of the gods, while Annabeth goes off in search of Percy. With the blending of old and new characters, exciting plot twists and villains more powerful and cunning than the Titans, it will be hard to wait for book two in the series! For grades 4 – 8.

MEET MEDUSA JONES!

If you have been enjoying Rick Riordan's books such as the Lighting Thief, than you are to sure enjoy Medusa Jones. However, one of the cool differences is that Medusa Jones is a girl... She is one feisty, smart and cool girl that has a best friend who also happens to be half horse but still, she does not understand why that would be an issue and why her school mates are mean to her.

The question arises... will she ever use her special abilities to turn people into stone or will she find more traditional ways to deal with people that are getting on her nerves. In addition, Medusa also has to deal with the occasional hair issue that every girl has, the difference though is that Medusa's hair turns into snakes, so on top of all the things that she has to deal with, now she also needs to worry about her "headsnakes" as well. MEDUSA JONES by ROSS COLLINS.

For grades 4th and up.
