Rowling.Jason, Piper and Annabeth are teenage demigods with one mortal parent and one parent of mythological, divine origin. Samuel: American Born Chinese by Gene Luen Yang, Annie John by Jamaica Kincaid, and Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone by J.K. With a dashing protagonist, convoluted plot and pressing moral quandaries, this classic is a timeless must-read.” Sabrina: “My book recommendation for Team Read is The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas. Open Count of Monte Cristo on a dreary night and watch adventure unfold right before your eyes. The video game she made is an outlet, but until one day something tragic happens which includes her game!” She primarily created it because of whenever she goes to her school Jefferson, which is mainly white students, she doesn’t feel as if she can be herself. Other games portray a lot of negative characteristics of a black person. She creates a video game where she and her fellow black people can play without being treated badly and with racism. Isatu: “My book recommendation is SLAY by Brittney Morris, featuring a female black high school student, named Kiera Johnson. Ibrahim: American Born Chinese by Gene Luen Yang, Annie John by Jamaica Kincaid, and The Crossover by Kwame Alexander I haven’t read it yet, but I’m hoping to figure out what happens soon.”Įmma: In The Time of the the Butterflies by Julia Alvarez There’s a second book in this trilogy called Kingsbane. They’re both individuals who are magically gifted and their actions determine the fate of the world, and it’s up to us to find out who will change the world for the better, or bring upon a period of chaos. This book is about two girls set a thousand years apart. This causes mutiny, violence, and revolts among the Scythdome and the general public.”ĭavid: “The book I’m reading at the moment is called Furyborn by Claire Legrand. As one character put it, “the ones who want the job the least are the ones who deserve it the most.” Unfortunately, some people who did want the job actually got it, and enjoy the act of killing a little too much. Scythes are people whose only job is to kill, or ‘glean,’ a certain number of people a year to control the population.
Unless, of course, they are killed by a scythe. People can reset their age, cure blindness, deafness, and other disabilities, and even be resurrected when they die or are killed. He starts by learning swordplay, cleaning cloaks, and preparing rooms, but is soon roped into uncovering an assassination that gets more and more complex.Īnd one more! The Arc of a Scythe by Neal Shusterman, takes place far, far in the future, when humanity has conquered all things – even death. The main character, a young red-furred squirrel, is taken as a page by a captain of the island.
#Demigods of olympus protagonist age series#
It’s a series that takes place on a legendary island ruled by hedgehogs, along with otters, moles, and squirrels. It’s spectacular and surprisingly funny.įinally, I’d have to recommend the The Mistmantle Chronicles by M. It features four young kids who must act undercover in increasingly dangerous and terrifying situations, and get caught in far over their heads. Third, I’d have to recommend The Mysterious Benedict Society by Trenton Lee Stewart. Saying any more would be too big of a spoiler, so go out and read it yourself. There’s a twist this time, as well, but now it’s that Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, Rapunzel, and Snow White live far in the future, among cyborgs, androids, and even aliens.
The same author wrote another series called the The Lunar Chronicles, which is filled with more classics, this time fairy tales. It’s a classic hero-villain tale, but both are main characters and both are neither fully heroic nor fully villainous. Second, the series Renegades, by Marissa Meyer, is wonderful. The following series, The Heroes of Olympus is almost as good.
It’s about Greek Demigods in modern times, fighting resurrected ancient monsters such as Medusa, the Minotaur, and Cerberus. Anyone who hasn’t read that series absolutely must. Claire: “I just finished Purple Hibiscus by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie and started Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn.”Ĭyrus: My upmost favorite would have to go to Percy Jackson & the Olympians, by Rick Riordan.
