Some people will shriek "No!" at this, but I really think it's time for Mr Riordan to move on from these stories about young heroes and heroines and Greek/Roman/Egyptian/Norse Gods.

I thought it was creative, fast-paced, entertaining and with a great message for all kids who feel a little on the outside sometimes. Middle grade it may be, but I really enjoyed The Lightning Thief. ![]()
