The Son of Neptune

I am reading a novel by the name of The Son of Neptune, which is the second book in The Heroes of Olympus Series. When I came across this book, I realized it was by the same author of The Percy Jackson Series (one of my favorites), so I decided to give it a try. I usually choose books by their genre, and author. I love fantasy and action, and this book is 100% that. It is about a boy named Percy Jackson, who is a half blood (which is a child who has one immortal parent, and one mortal parent), and can not remember anything from his past except the name Annabeth. One day, he is being chased by gorgons, when he comes across a Roman camp for half bloods, and everything changes. My favorite character is Percy Jackson because he is a very curious, daring, and adventurous person. Some of his remarks can also be funny. Another one of my favorite characters is Reyna. Although she is very stern, and strict, I predict she will be a favored person in the end. Every chapter in this is book is extremely exciting, and breathtaking. There are no boring bits in this novel (so far). The author of this novel is Rick Riordan. He has written many books including The Kane Chronicles, and The Percy Jackson Series. Only first book in the Percy Jackson Series has been made into a movie. I am eager to see if more movies are created for the rest of the series. The next book he writes, I will be the first one to buy, because his books are so amazing. Hopefully, after you read this book, you will think so too.

The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate

I am in the middle of reading a novel called The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate. The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate is about an eleven year old named Calpurnia who is growing up 1899 Texas. She likes to explore, and observe the wonders of nature around her. Calpurnia develops a strong bond with her grandfather who shared the same passion. Her grandfather was a great teacher, and taught Calpurnia how to look at nature under the lenses of a microscope. He also taught her some science. While she is dealing with her 6 brothers and strict mother, she takes you on a journey full of fun, and mischievous surprises. This book is also very descriptive. My favorite character is Calpurnia because of her wit, and take on situations. Calpurnia always stands up for what she thinks. She is a friendly, kind, and generous person. I also like J.B., Calpurnia's youngest, and baby brother because he always makes funny remarks about objects or situations. He is also loving, delightful, and darling. Whenever the narrator talks about him, I know that there will be a cute factor in it. When I turned the first page of the book, I was captured by the flow of descriptive language. The journey through this book kept me mesmerized, and interested. It also won a 2010 Newbury Award. The author's name is Jacqueline Kelly. This was my first time reading one of her books. Treat yourself to reading this novel, and be ready to be entertained.
