The Last Olympian by Rick Riordan
Reviewed by Lindsay
Percy in his dangerous life of turning 16, what will happen? Will he be the Last Olympian or will he not?
In this book, it has lots of issues, ideas, and concepts like courage, betrayal, and loss. A lot of courage comes out when Annabeth leaves her family and joins Luke and Thalia. This makes me think Annabeth does not care about her family, and how they think of her. This makes me realize that Annabeth is not watching out for other people besides herself.
In the book it shows betrayal when Luke goes on the bad side. This makes me wonder, why would Luke do that? Throughout the series it tells the reader in the book how Luke is so mysterious, and wants to go up against Percy, Chiron, Annabeth, and Camp Half-Blood.
Rick Riordan, the author of this book, really brings out the excitement and lots of questions in the book that just makes you want to read more. Rick inspires lots of writers and children throughout the whole world. Most of his fantastic fantasy books are the best-selling series!
I think the message is trust your instincts, and believe in yourself, don't bring yourself down, no matter what.

"I am here because when all else fails, when all the other mighty gods have gone off to war, I am all that's left. Home. Hearth. I am the Last Olympian."
This sentence is most definitely one of my favorite parts! I mean Hestia does a great job talking "first person" to Percy. Alright, The Last Olympian is totally my favorite book! The way everything is said amazes me! Rick Riordan is the perfect person for character details and setting details.
Rick Riordan describes so many things. He describes Beckendorf as "...he was huge, with ripped muscles from working on the forges every summer, two years older than me, and one of the camp's best armor smiths." He makes it easier to picture things in my mind, I instantly knew what Beckendorf looked like!
I believe this book could be for 8 and up. They can handle it, especially with Rick Riordan's detials.
So the next book you read should be The Last Olympian!

If you want to read a fun, funny, and "stinky" book, then read Stink and the World's Worst Super-Stinky Sneakers. My opinion is that there's a lot of stinky stuff and betting, like when Stink and Sophie make a bet about who has the stinkiest shoes.

The power, sorrow, and scariness of war is shown in The Last Olympian.
Once again, Rick Riordan brings out emotion and humor. In The Last Olympian, 15 year old Percy goes on a mission, a war, to save the world by protecting the Empire State Building.
This story shows friendship, love, betrayal, identity, and hope and in between making the readers feel the same. A part that shows that is when Percy is fighting Kronos himself.
The text is powerful and full of courage and braveness as Kronos strikes again causing a terrible war that will all, hopefully, go to Tartarus.
Readers will relate with all the characters feeling important and feel like a true half-blood. (I recommend this for 8 and up.)

DSA #11: Danger! Wizard at Work! reviewed by Gordon
Dragon Slayers' Academy #11: Danger! Wizard at Work! by Kate McMullan
Reviewed by Gordon
The suspense, the action, and the drama is showing that Wiglaf is a risk taker, but he does it on accident. For example, Wiglaf kills Gorzil and his mother Seetha. But when they call Zelnoc, Wiglaf wants to go to get jiffy gold but he ends up being turned into a dragon! The end of the book is the really calm part when all the characters are calm except Mordred.
Wiglaf is a scaredy cat but brave. For example, when he was foun dout by the DSA (Dragon Slackers Academy) they had the guts to call Zelnoc and Zelnoc shrank them! Then Zelnoc turned them into humans again and got caught by the head mistress! Sissy (the dragon that helps them) is brave and generous, brave because she is disobeying the teacher but generous because she's helping Wiglaf get the jiffy gold.
Wiglaf's adventures send a message to never underestimate the little guy. I think this because Zelnoc is the little guy in the wizard state but ends up saving Zizmor (the head of the wizard world, and the best) from his baby spell and saving Wiglaf from Seetha's 3,632 children from killing them. So if you liked this review then read this book!

Warriors: The New Prophecy #1: Midnight is a great book. It has excitement, and some humor. Lots of children will love these books. I adore these books. This book (Midnight) is the first of this "part" of the Warriors series. Some other book sin this part of the series include: Moonrise and Dawn. This book mostly follows: Thunderclan leader: Firestar, Thunderclan medicine cat: Cinderpelt, Thunderclan medicine cat apprentice: Leafpaw, Thunderlcan depty: Graystripe, brave Thunderclan Warrior leading the questing cats' journey: Brambleclaw, Graystripe's son and daughter: Feathertail and Stormfur, annoying Windclan apprentice: Crowpaw, and Brambleclaw's sister: Tawnypelt. Read as these cats grow up and encounter problems and see how they solve them.
It's up to Brambleclaw and his buddies to save the forest. In this book, four cats have dreams from Starclan which means they are one of the chosen cats of the journey. Watch these cats go on a very exciting journey.
Something that Hunter does is split first person perspective between two cats: Leafpaw and Brambleclaw. She does that so you know what's happening in the clan and you can also know what's happening on the quest.
This book has violence, so I recommend this for ages 10 and up.

DSA #11: Danger! Wizard at Work! reviewed by Lucas
Dragon Slayers' Academy #11: Danger! Wizard at Work! by Kate McMullan
Reviewed by Lucas
DSA is a very good series. DSA stands for Dragon Slayers' Academy. Erica, Angus, and Wiglaf have to go on a special mission for Mordred their headmaster. They might encounter some problems along the way. They end up at another DSA but will it stand for the same thing as their school...?
Mordred is a very bossy person. He is obsessed with gold and would do anything to get it.
Zelnoc is a wizard whose spells always seem to go wrong. Will this one go wrong too or just not the spell that they wanted? Zelnoc helps them but also messes up in the DSA books.
Wiglaf of Pinwick is a new student at DSA. He already slayed two dragons by accident. Will he have to slay anymore? Wiglaf can't stand the sight of blood. That is why he had to kill the dragons by accident. Wiglaf can't even kill a fake dragon in slaying class.
Angus is one of Wiglaf's best friends. He is also the nephew of Mordred. He doesn't get special treatment though. He actually has to do more things. Angus's mom is always sending him goody bags with good food so he doesn't always have to eat the eel that Frypot makes.
Erica who is secretly Eric is also one of Wiglaf's best friends. She is secretly Princess Erica but DSA is an all boys school so she disguises herself as a boy. No one knows she is a girl except for Wiglaf and Angus.
If you like this book you can read all of the DSA books from 1 to 19. There are 19 books in the DSA series. You could and should read all of them. They are really good books.
