Devouring Books

Eamon has always been fascinated by mythology from an early age. He wore out several mythology books and knows quite about Greek and Roman gods and goddesses. With all this interest in myths, I thought he would be interested in the Percy Jackson series. However, Eamon has been reluctant to begin the Percy Jackson saga. He had heard that the movie was very scary. We talked about books versus movies, and I figured he would read it when he was ready.

In the past couple weeks, he decided he was ready. It started when he began reading the first book with me before bed. He took the book and finished it the next day. We haven't been able to get the books fast enough! When he finishes one he listens to the audio version while waiting for the next book in the saga. He has read them in paper form as well as digitally.

This series has sparked his earlier interest and led to discussions on mythological creatures. Many discussions have revolved around the topic. Eamon has checked out a few other mythology books and dictionaries from the library. He will share what he knows and has read with everyone. For now, we are enjoying the ride and talking a LOT about myths from many cultures.
