What are some good Greek mythology fiction books?

October 302011

I have all ready read the Percy Jackson series.. I want to read some more like that or just some Greek Mythology fiction books so any one know of any good books like that?

Nobody’s Princess -She is beautiful, she is a princess, and Aphrodite is her favorite goddess, but something in Helen of Sparta just itches for more out of life. Not one to count on the gods – or her looks – to take care of her, Helen sets out to get what she wants with steely determination and a sassy attitude. That same attitude makes Helen a few enemies – such as the self-proclaimed "son of Zeus" Theseus – but it also intrigues, charms, and amuses those who become her friends, from the famed huntress Atalanta to the young priestess who is the Oracle of Delphi.

In Nobody’s Princess, author Esther Friesner deftly weaves together history and myth as she takes a new look at the girl who will become Helen of Troy. The resulting story offers up adventure, humor, and a fresh and engaging heroine

Nobody’s Princess was an amazing!! This book actually had me imagining Helen’s life through her eyes. It’s definitely as MUST READ if you’re interested in greek mythology

also the Second book nobodys prize.

-Esther Friesner’s NOBODY’S PRIZE is a sequel to NOBODY’S PRINCESS yet stands alone well: young Helen of Sparta refuses to be left behind when her brothers embark on an exciting quest for the Golden Fleece, and disguises herself as a boy to join the crew of the Argo, where she faces danger and adventures – and even falls in love.

How can I enjoy reading non-fiction books as much as fiction?

October 202011

I spend too much time on the Internet. I am in year 11 now in UK which is the year where we have the most exams and it’s extremely significant since I want to be a doctor in the future. I like fiction books but I want to be able to read non-fiction books like textbooks in my spare time, spending hours reading them than on the Internet. How can I do this?

Find books on subjects you are interested in. If you like animals, pick up books about animals and true-life accounts of animal adventures. Read biographies and auto biographies on people you find interesting. If you like a certain sport, read books on the sports you like.

Go to your local library and ask the librarian to help you find books that will interst you. You can do the same at your local book store.

What are some good mystery books for teenagers?

I’d like books that require real wit and thinking like Agatha Christie (not those books that are mostly adventure). Can anyone recommend some great crime/mystery books other than Agatha Christie? I love her books- she has such a clever mind to think of some of those solutions. :D

Caroline B. Cooney writes great mysteries. I read They Never Came Back about a 15 y.o. named Cathy Ferris, the new girl in school with a past she’s trying to hide.

You should also try books by Lois Duncan. Her mysteries have more of an edge to them, like Don’t Look Behind You and I Know What You Did Last Summer.
