David and Goliath: Art of Battling Giants (A)
His most enjoyable book so far. It is a feel-good extravaganza, nourishing both heart and mind. Each of its stories…has an ending that is both happy and surprising. What ostensibly unites the stories are the twin ideas that an advantage can sometimes be a disadvantage and that a disadvantage can sometimes be an advantage. Yet there is something more powerful and uplifting that also links them. It is that good beats bad – just when you least expected it. – Financial Time.

The Dark Prophecy (The Trials of Apollo Book 2)
The second title in Rick Riordan’s Trials of Apollo series – set in the action-packed (and hilarious) world of Percy Jackson.
The god Apollo, cast down to earth and trapped in the form of a gawky teenage boy as punishment, must set off on the second of his harrowing (and hilarious) trials.
He and his companions seek the ancient oracles, and restoring them is the only way for Apollo to reclaim his place on Mount Olympus – but this is easier said than done.
Standing in Apollo’s way is the second member of the evil Triumvirate – a Roman emperor with a love of bloodshed and spectacle.
To survive the encounter, Apollo will need the help of a now-mortal goddess, a bronze dragon, and some familiar demigod faces from Camp Half-Blood. With them by his side, can Apollo face down the greatest challenge of his four thousand years of existence?
