You've read Percy Jackson, and it was one of the few books you've enjoyed. But now your teacher wants you to read something else. Is there anything as good that you might like? Here are a few suggestions from Rick Riordan (the guy who wrote Percy Jackson).
Artemis Fowl by Eion Colfer
Artemis Fowl is a twelve year-old criminal mastermind. He knows fairies are real, and he is going for their gold. All of their gold. Fast paced, humourous, easy to read.
Leviathan by Scott Westerfeld
Prince Aleksander, heir to the Austro-Hungarian throne is on the run. Deryn Sharp has disguised herself as a boy so she can join the British air service. In an alternative version of our own world, World War I has just started.
Skulduggery Pleasant by Derek Landy
A funny fantasy/mystery series featuring a detective who just happens to be a fire-throwing skeleton.
The Alchemyst by Michael Scott
First in a series about two siblings who are plunged into a world of immortals and mythological creatures. Fast-paced fantasy set in the modern world.
