I read The Lightning Thief 2 years ago, so picking up the sequel this summer was a little confusing, since I didn't remember all the characters and how everything ended up. Fortunately author Rick Riordan gave enough information, without going overboard to remind me as I went. I sort of enjoyed the "a-ha" as I remembered things. What I really liked about this story was the trip through mythology. Retracing some of perils of Jason the Argonaut's journey was so fun. As they approached the different entanglements, I found myself thinking to what I knew of mythology and making predictions. What a fun way to bring Greek Mythology back into mainstream culture! I'll have to finish the series now!-Mrs. M :)

Maybe you could read one of the Percy Jackson books as an intro to the mythology unit!
