The Demigod Diaries by Rick Riordan
Review by Hannah
This book is short stories that give back story to the Percy Jackson series and more information about important parts like the Mist. I think that this book is important to read, and I was a little disappointed by the illustrations. I like this book because it gives greater detail and explains things like the Mist. You should read this book because it provides vital information to completely understand the Percy Jackson series.

A Tale Dark and Grimm by Adam Gidwitz
Review by Hannah
Hansel and Gretel embark on several journeys to prove that they don't need parents. This fairy tale ties into other not-very-well known fairy tales. I like this book because the author keeps interrupting the story to make the story more interesting or to warn the reader of (what he thinks) really scary parts. You should read this book because this book is very funny. You should't be intimidated by the cover because it isn't scary, just funny.
