The Hobbit by 
Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief by Listen up readers! I have a lot to say about this one. So where do I even begin? This was SPECTACULAR!!! An absolute journey through Greek mythology, epic climaxes and extraordinary dialogue. Not only was this book exciting and impactful, but it certainly had no lack in plenty of hilarious lines from our favourite characters. Rick Riordan can go from dark, sad losses in one chapter, to witty and amusing scenes in the next. I particularly loved the character development and subplots. We see the seven protagonists continue to complete their prophecy, while witnessing other demigods grow and form bonds of comradery, love, and friendship. It feels criminal that I can't give this book 6 stars. But overall, stop what you are doing and read this book now, you won't regret it!
