Greek Myths by Geraldine McCaughrean

Book Title: Greek Myths

Author: Geraldine McCaughrean

Overview: This book is about about lots of myths from the Greeks, some of the stories may be differnt then what you've heard because these stories have been passed from generation to generation, causing it to change from the original myth told centuries ago.

Comments: This is the book that we are currently reading in English. It is completely filled with interesting, remarkable, moralish Greek myths to enjoy. My favourite story in this book is called "Arachne the Spinner" because it tells us that we cannot be too proud even if we are very good, instead we have to try and improve ourselves more by looking at the things that we didn't do so well. I also like the other stories because they, too, tell a moral that makes you improve yourself. I recommend this book to my family and friends who haven't read it before.

Comments: This book is another thrilling and exciting adventure from the mysterious Ulysses Moore series that I have mentioned before in the blogs. This is the second volume in the series and it is as interesting, breath-taking and humorous as the Door to Time. I love the Ulysses Moore series because they always make me hold my breath in the scary parts, laugh out loud in the humorous parts and, finally, they make me want to read on. I give this book a ten out of ten star rating.
