House Of Hades Book Talk

     House Of Hades is a fantasy book written by Rick Riordan

     This book takes place in multiple places in Europe and in the Underworld.  Two of the main characters, Percy(son of Poseidon) and Annabeth(daughter of Athena) fall into the Underworld while trying to retrieve a item of power for the godess Athena.  They fall into a crevice that opened from the Underworld.  They need to make it to the exit the same time their friends make it to the entrance or they cannot cross through to the other side.  Think of it as a portal that needs to be opened from both sides instead of one.  Both sides make their way through the perilous land, to extract Percy and Annabeth.  The mood is both a funny and serious one, and the theme is never give up, because both sides had to endure life threatening challenges.

I really liked this book simply because it was very exciting, and because there are so many ties to the previous ones.  I remember most about this book is all the characters hardships that the characters had to endure.  I would recommend this book to all middle schoolers because it is challenging, but not too challenging.  I think you would want to go out a get this book because it is a really good book, and it's just plain awesome.  That's it.  It's just awesome.
