I got into the series when the first lightening thief previews came out. He also has a series based on the Egyptian pantheon.

I recommend this book for anyone who read the book “Wonder.”
To see my thoughts on the first part of this book you can see my review when I originally read that one by itself, before I knew this book existed. http://keepcalmandreadabook.com/2015/11 ... n-chapter/
These stories are nice to see and hear from other students point of view. I did not think it was as wonderful as “Wonder” was. I still enjoyed them in a different way. To be honest Julian was the only one I was curious about when seeing these existed. I really couldn’t remember who the other two characters were. If you did not like “Wonder” you probably shouldn’t read these. If you are looking for a sequel to “Wonder” this isn’t one and the author says there won’t be one.
If you have a child getting ready for middle school or maybe even high school I recommend “Wonder” and maybe even this book after that. It is full of life lessons that we all need to learn especially before the middle school years.
Pluto: It was interesting to hear about Christopher he isn’t mentioned very much in Wonder but Auggie affected his life as well. I know Christopher has been through some very difficult things but he tends to be a brat. He doesn’t respect his mom at all. We see him go through some things in this book and he learns and tries to become better.
Shingaling: This was the least exciting for me. The only girl one but I think it is very important for girls to read this. Most girls want to be liked and sometimes that motivates us to do bad things. Charlotte seems to have the least to do with Auggie, you can almost feel like this is a different book altogether. I found myself bored with her story, that probably being because I hate girl drama.
I rate this book a 3 out of 4 stars.
