This book is one of the four part series written by Lucy and Stephen Hawking about the adventures of two young kids, George and Annie in Space. It is a science fiction story full of unexpected turns and twists. They travel to space by the help of the one and only modern super computer called Cosmos. Strange things happen to them such as banks started handing out free money, supermarkets can’t charge for food and it looks like the world’s best computer, Cosmos has been hacked. George and Annie must find who is behind it otherwise the world may end.

The book’s main characters are George, Annie (George’s best friend), Eric (Annie’s Dad), Susan (Annie’s Mother), Terence and Daisy (George’s Father and Mother) Juno and Hera (George’s little twin sister’s) and Ebot the robot who is a replica of Eric.

The book also includes new ideas and facts about outer space like the only other body where it snows except Earth is one of the Saturn's moons called Enceladus. It also includes real photos taken from space. I recommend it for people who like science fiction and adventures stories and those who want to know more about the outer space and our solar system. I liked the book a lot and plan to read the other books in the series.

                  This book is first of an amazing series written by Rick Riordan. It is about a 12 year old New York boy who’s life changes when he gets to know he is a half blood, half God and half human. and his father is Poseidon, Greek God of the sea. My favorite part is when Percy fights Ares, God of War. I recommend the book for people who like Greek Mythology and who like fighting and monsters. I also recommend it for young people. In it Zeus God of Gods thinks that Percy has stolen his lightning bolt ( Master Bolt). It is a good book with surprising turns and twists.
               


               He has a mother who he lives with and his stepfather Gabe. Percy calls him smelly Gabe. Percy also meets Grover the satyr, Annabeth and Chiron the Centaur. He fights many monsters like The Minitor, the Furies and Eindchanta. The gods he meets are Poseidon, Zeus , Ares, Hades, the god of Underworld and Didonis, the God of Wine. Percy was thrown out of 6 schools including Yancy Academy which was his  6th one. After being thrown out of Yancy Percy was attacked by Minitor. Then it seems his mother is dead. Then Percy goes to Camp Half blood where he learns to fight and protect himself. He gets to know that his father is Poseidon when he just finished "Capture the Flag". Then he gets a quest. There is a surprise ending.
