The Princess and the Goblin by George MacDonald

Princess Irene lives in a castle with lots of servants. One night she finds a stairway leading up to lots of doors. In one of the doors she finds something that no one knew was there. Besides that the miners son Curdie finds a goblin base and overhears a nasty plan.

The characters in this book are charming. And you get to know them very well when you read this.  It is a great story as well. The plot is exciting.

The beginning is okay but not as good as later on in the story.

I recommend this book for those who love fantasy.

The Lightning Thief By Rick Riordan

Book one of the Percy Jackson series. Percy is the son of Poseidon. He lives with his mom and his step dad that he hates. He goes to camp half blood for the summer and they find out someone stole Zeus's lightning bolt.

It is a exciting suspenseful book that keeps you reading.

If you like mythology I recommend this book.
