Percy Jackson and the Olympians

by Rick Riordan

The gods of Olympus live on in 21st century America. In the series opener, Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief, Percy is a twelve-year-old kid who discovers he’s a demigod--half human, half God-- as the absent father he’s never known is actually Poseidon, king of the sea. In Riordan’s world, the gods still mix with and marry humans, and continue to stir up all kinds of trouble down on earth. 5 books in the series.

Holes

by Louis Sachar

This is such a fun story, no matter your age. Stanley Yelnats is a boy with a history of bad luck–all brought on by his "no-good-dirty-rotten-pig-stealing-great-great-grandfather." Yelnats ends up at Camp Green Lake—a juvenile detention center, where there is no lake--and has to dig a giant hole every day in the hot sun. The boys soon discover there may be more to this hole-digging business than punishment. Age 8 and up.

by Lynn Reid Banks

A little boy gets two seemingly mundane birthday presents: a little plastic figurine, and an old medicine cabinet.

While I was busy reading Anne of Green Gables as a young girl, my husband was reading this modern classic over and over.
