Airman

I really enjoyed this book, it has action, love, betrayal, and scheming.

Airman is a bit of a different book compared to others that Eoin Colfer has written. It takes place on the Saltee Islands, the main character is someone named Conor Broekhart. Conor is a young man that is framed for a crime and is sent to jail on Little Saltee. While in jail, Conor comes up with a new identity for himself, makes some new friends, and finds a way to escape from Little Saltee and horrible memories.

Once he is back on Great Saltee, Conor has to save his family from Marshall Hugo Bonvilain. This Marshall has a plan that will involve the new queen, Conors parents, and making him king so that he can control the Saltee Islands.

Airman is a fun read that anyone could enjoy. I was sucked in and couldn't put it down until it was finished!

The Lighting Thief

Percy Jackson and The Lighting Thief is about a troubled 12 year old kid who lives in New York. He may seem like a normal kid with normal problems, but there is something special about him.

When Zeus the king of the gods finds that his master lighting bolt has been stolen, everyone automatically thinks that Percy is the lighting thief.

This book is an easy read that you just cannot put down! It's full of fun adventures, funny characters, and freaky mythological monsters who like to kill people in their spare time. So, if you're up for some laughs, action, adventure and backstabbing friends, I highly suggest you read The Lighting Thief!
