Why read it?

1 author picked Nico Bravo and the Hound of Hades as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

I love mythology and Cavallaro did such a great job taking classic myths and monsters and turning them on their head. Plus, there’s a sword that teleports your enemy’s skeleton into outer space, how great is that?!

From Mike's list on to hear your kids laugh out loud.
