If you are a Warrior Cats fan, you'll love this exciting super edition. Delve into the the world of Stormkit as he struggles against rejection, the pull of the dark forest, and the ties of a deadly promise that might bring about the destruction of his clan.
The Ligtning Thief is a fast paced novel that anybody could enjoy. This story about a mix-up of modern teens and Greek Mythology is sure to make you laugh out loud!
Read Walk Two Moons because it's a true all time favorite. It's great for people who love all kinds of books.
The Battle of the Labyrinth is AWESOME!!! Full of action, really funny, cool mythological references. Good if you want to brush up on your Greek mythology. I recommend it, it's great!
