twilightTwilight is the best book I have ever read! It is romantic and also has action. It is about a vampire named Edward Cullen, and a human named Bella Swan who fall in love with each other. They are willing to die for one another. They have to face many challenges.One of these is the fact that her blood is the sweetest blood he has ever smelled. Another challenge is that he can kill her with just one wrong move. They try to stay away from one another, but their love is so strong that they can’t stay away. Soon they will encounter great danger. This story is so sweet and the author Stephenie Meyer descirbes everything with such detail. You will thirst for more after every chapter!

 Sea of Monsters

By: Rick Riordan

Review by Miles Sakmar

sea-of-monstersPercy is back and better than ever in this hilarious and action pack sequel to The Lightning Thief.

After playing a dangerous and destructive game of dodge ball with a few monsters, Percy once again finds himself perused by the police, and there is only one safe place for him, Camp Half-Blood. Or so he thinks.

When he arrives at camp he finds it over run with monsters, despite the camp’s magical protection.

Percy soon discovers that the traitorous Luke has poisoned the magic that protects the camp, and the only possible cure lies on an island deep within the Sea of Monsters (otherwise known as the Bermuda Triangle).

Now Percy must once again do the impossible, or die trying.

The Lightning Thief

 
By: Rick Riordan
Review by Miles Sakmar
 

 

 

Percy Jackson has always been in some kind of trouble. Trouble seems to follow him like a shadow.

 But after being attacked by a demon math teacher (not much worse than a regular math teacher), Percy finds himself in a whole new level of trouble.

 Now Percy finds himself the subject of a national manhunt, accused of a crime he didn’t commit, and being chased by demons from the depths of the Underworld.

 

In order to clear his name, Percy must travel to the depths of the Underworld, fall to his death, fight his way through hoards of blood-thirsty demons, and defeat a god.

 The Battle of the Labyrinth
By: Rick Riordan
Reviewed by Miles Sakmar

 Things have been so grim for Percy and friends.

Now that the Titan Lord, Kronos, has been awakened and his army assembled, it is only a matter of time before they attack Camp Half-Blood and burn it to the ground. Then they will march on and attack the gods themselves.  

Now Percy’s only hope is to solve an unsolvable puzzle, work with his greatest enemy, defeat an evil king, find a dying god, survive a volcanic eruption of epic proportions (admittedly one that he caused but still), and stop an army of vicious and blood thirsty monsters.

The thrilling tale continues, and readers are left dying for more.

 The Titan’s Curse
By: Rick Riordan
Reviewed by Miles Sakmar

After a near fatal encounter with demonic principal, Percy once again finds himself at Camp Half-Blood, preparing for war.

Only now it’s personal. Anabeth has gone missing, and now it is up to Percy to find and save her, along with the goddess, Artemis.

Teaming up with Artemis’s immortal hunters and the newly revived Thalia, Percy must travel to the garden of perpetual twilight, face Atlas (an extremely strong, titan general), and bear the ultimate burden.

Continuing with this grand series, Rick Riordan continues to amaze and astound his readers with yet another tale over flowing with both adventure and comedy.
