Camp Half Blood

Rick Riordan is the author of some really cool books, and the kids are crazy about them!! So it was really exciting when we found out that Book People would be hosting a parking lot party for the launch of his newest book. His books combine aspects of mythology (Greek, Roman & Egyptian) with the modern world, and this was the theme of the party. The icing on the cake was when Mr. Riordan took the stage, and answered children's questions & read a passage from the new book. It was a GREAT afternoon. I love that the kids were so ecstatic about attending this event, and it really demonstrates how much a good book can impact a person's life.
Yeah reading!
