This book was very good and I would recommend it.It was a bit scary, especially when they go through all of the dangerous adventure but not all scary books are bad. This book was amazing and I would recommend it.

It's a great adventure and it was a poem from a long time ago from Homer.

I really liked this book because it is very interesting and contained lots of fascinating information. It is a challenging read so I would recommend it for 10 or 11 year olds.
