26. Goddess Girls: Athena the Brain

I had noticed that these books had become popular with my friends last year, so I decided to read them. They are about the Greek gods and goddesses as if they went to a school for the gods. The series starts out with the first book, Athena the Brain. Athena lives on Earth for the first chapter or so until Athena gets a letter from Zeus, King of the Gods and Ruler of the Heaven, not to mention the principal of Mount Olympics Academy. The letter orders Athena to come to Mount Olympics for school, and tells her that she is Zeus' "most favorite daughter in all the universe." The next morning , at MOA, Athena befriends the most popular goddess girls in MOA, Aphrodite, goddess girl of love and beauty, Persephony, goddess girl of flowers, and Artemis, goddess girl of the hunt and the moon.The rest of the book includes inventing, classes on guiding heroes, and an invention fair.The whole series is written by Joan Holub. Athena the brain is 160 pages long. The rest of the books add on to their stories in different perspectives. Here's a list of the books in order(I've read them all:
  1. Athena the Brain 
  2. Persephony the Phony

19. The Lightning Thief


   The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan is all-around an amazing book. It is about a boy named Percy who is on his sixth boarding school- here's the problem;
   he's only in sixth grade. Worst of all, he found out that the Greek Gods are alive and well... Zeus's master lightning bolt is missing, and he thinks Percy stole it! Percy and his newly-found friends have ten days to find out who did take the bolt, and they're running out of time.

13.The Demigod Files


This book is an addition to the Percy Jackson series. It has special interviews and three never before told storys. It is a good book.
