Book Reviews Division 5

The Titan's Curse is an awesome, action filled book.  Percy Jackson goes on a quest to find Annabeth, his best friend and Artemis, goddess of hunt and was the mother of Zoe.  My favourite part is when Percy fights Dr. Thorn.  Whoever loves action, will love the Percy Jackson books.  This will be the best book you will every read.

By:  Chris

My favourite book is Ellie MacDoodle, Have Pen, Will Travel.  In the book Ellie's parents go away so she has to stay with her her annoying cousins and go camping.  My favourite part is when Ellie and her cousins learn to like each other.  I think other people would like to read this book because it is really funny.
