The Lost Heroes (EE students)
In the book "The Lost Heroes" written the famous author Rick Riordon, who is known best for his Percy Jackson series which brings Greek mythology back to life and making the fans hungry and just keep wishing for more.
Now he is back with the new series "The Lost Hero" which takes the reader back to camp Half-Blood (where the Demi-Gods are being train) and brings up three new character Jason (son of Jupiter), Piper (daughter of Aphrodite) and Leo (son of Hephaestus). They are the main characters of this book and are the ones chosen for the big prophecy of the millenia.
The book is written in the third person and so the advantage is we get a more true description of the character. Because if it's in the first person, the character might describe him/her-self as a wonderful person when he/she really isn't. So if we have it as a third person, we are kind of standing outside of the story looking inside at the character and the story.
And for the age of 12+, I think this book will be a great entertainer in the times that we get bored.

The Saga Of Darren Shan Book 2 The Vampire's Assistant
This book is the best of the Darren Shan series so far to me. Darren was too lonely with Mr.Crepsley so they both went back to join the cirque again.
Here Darren could be real friends with anyone here and don't have to afraid that his strength are too strong for them. He made alot of friends but Sam was the only human boy. they see each other everyday but after when the cirque moved, Darren would never want to see Sam face again...

Alex Rider:Scorpia Rising by Anthony Horowitz
This book is another adevnturies action-pack chapter fuffils the potential of how great the Alex Rider series which is one of my favorite series that i enjoyed reading. Alex is recruited one last time to MI6 and its very end! He visited Cairo but Scorpia waited for him all along where this was officially pre-planned. They planned to inflict him alot of pain and this is where the action goes thorughout the book in boling point. Of course this would lead to deaths and one of the main character died battling Scropia!! At the very end of the book it would seem pretty complex that Alex finially get to use a gun for the first time for protecting himself in the near future! This book is a very succesful book. I like it and no dobt it brings more humour to the Alex Rider series. I cant wait to read Ark Angel to see what happens next to Alex... as the series continues!!
