pickThis book reminded me a lot of the Magnus Chase series by Rick Riordan (I‘ve never read the Percy Jackson series but I assume it‘s similar to Magnus Chase). It had that same adventurous spirit.
The world building was well done. It was easy to understand and follow. The book included a map, which also aided in comprehension.

Last night I had the privilege to attend the Natl Figure Skating Pairs and had the best time with friends. Today, just couldn‘t settle in with any current reads and so I searched for “month” on Libby and I selected this. #MiddleGrade #ReadICT
I'm almost finished with my second book, called Behind The Lines. Just revising and editing. Of course, right when I finish, I get all of this inspiration suddenly. The book I'm reading, Hideout, by Watt Key, has been a big boost. This second book is about our characters stuck behind enemy lines. Whether it's Zach's constant worry, Winter's optimistic attitude, or Jackson's readiness for action, this book is gonna turn out great.
pickThe 2nd book in the series that started with “The House at the Edge of Magic”
