Today my pick is...'The Fire Thief' written by Terry Deary. Its the first book in The Fire Thief Trilogy and is 250 pages long. It is a mix of mythology-history-fantasy, so I would call it a thriller/fantasy.
This book revolves around the Greek Titan Prometheus who, in search of a hero, time travels into another Time Period-1858 Eden City. Unknown to him, a Fury is chasing him for his life. In Eden, he meets an orphan who agrees to help him. Will Prometheus find a hero and survive?
The book follows two story lines which crisscross each other on many occasions. One shows us Olympus, back at The Dawn Of Time. The other follows the adventures and labors of Prometheus.
It is a short book but Trilogies usually are.This book has Greek mythology, humorous footnotes, goriness, sarcastic comments, adventure and is a pack of fun for anybody to read. This book is simply enjoyable, I would recommend it to all children 10 above.
