The Throne of Fire by Rick Riordan

After saving the world from the god of evil, Set, a few weeks ago Sadie and Carter Kane are assigned for another world saving challenge.  Apophis, the god of chaos is breaking free from his prison after thousands of years of being locked up, and he plans to rid the world of order and have chaos rule. Unfortunately, the only one strong enough to battle Apophis is Ra, the god of order, but no one has seen Ra for many years.  So the obvious thing to do would be to go to those who have experience on saving the world, and that happens to be the Kanes.  Sadie and Carter, accompanied by Bes, the dwarf god, must find Ra to put Apophis back in place.  But can they do it in only five days?  Find out in The Throne of Fire!

The Throne of Fire is an adventurous book full of humorous characters.  I enjoyed every bit of it and hope that you will too. This book is great for boys and girls 9-12.

The Lost Hero by Rick Riordan

Jason wakes up on a school bus and finds he has no memory.  No memories of Leo and Piper (his supposedly best friends), and no memory of why he was on the school bus in the first place.   Jason learns that he is on the bus for a class field trip to the Grand Canyon, which is perfectly normal. Wrong. Things get weirder when their P.E. teacher is taken by a whole bunch of monsterous venti (Wind Spirits)  When a rescue party comes flying in, (literally flying) Piper, Leo, and Jason demand  answers.  In return they are taken to camp half-blood, where they are informed they all are really half-human, half-greek god. They find out that Jason's memory was stolen by Hera, queen of heaven.  In return for the memories Jason, Piper, and Leo must go on a quest for Hera, to rescue her and stop the Giant King. Will the quest be too dangerous? Will any of them survive? Or will the Giant King destroy the world?

The Lost Hero is an action-packed adventure story.  Authored by Rick Riordan, who is a favorite of mine.  And after you read The Lost Hero, he'll be your favorite too.

The Dangerous Days of Daniel X by James Patterson

Daniel X not an ordinary boy.  He is an alien hunter, but he is also an alien himself.  Daniel's a good alien.  Not like those evil seven-eyed mutant freaks.  When he was three years old, an alien, the strongest most powerful and most gruesome one came and destroyed his house and family.  But Daniel survived.  Now at age fifteen, Daniel and his friends are hunting down aliens one by one until he gets to the one that ruined his life.  Number 5, the alien that stands in his way, may now be too powerful for even Daniel and his alien fighting friends.

The Dangerous Days of Daniel X is an amazing fast paced book.  I was hoping it would never end.  It was really funny and the writing was amazing.  I know you'll love it as much as I did.
