The girls in the book reminded me of me and my friends. I liked that the pages were short and it was a fast and easy read for me. My daughter (9) and I read and reviewed this book and this is what we have to say. If you know of a child that wants to read Percy, but may be a little too young I would recommend giving this one a try. Overall, this is a great chapter books series that I've seen a lot of children at the library really enjoy. There are also some fun and interesting scenes like how they have a class project where they control Greek heroes attempting to keep them alive. It does however, have some emphasis on great themes like friendship. The complexity would not be appropriate in this series. It's not 100 percent accurate in terms of the myths, but this series was created to generate some interest around Greek mythology for younger readers. Because of the target audience, I found this book to be fast paced and fun.
Athena also interacts with some of the gods that are in training like Poseidon. And while it seems to have no purpose, readers find out the origin of her feelings towards the end of the book. The plot itself revolves around Athena meeting the other goddess characters including Aphrodite, Artemis, Persephone, and Pandora. Each book of the series focuses on one specific goddess and this is about Athena.Īthena the Brain opens with Athena learning that her father is Zeus and that he wants her to attend Mount Olympus Academy. This is such a great start to a series that I would recommend for younger kids who are interested in reading Percy Jackson, but may not be ready for such advanced text.
