These hardback novels will last much longer than the paperback ones and be used mainly in the classroom, but they can be taken home by the students in order to complete readings not finished in class. This book will come into the curriculum during the Social Studies Greek mythology unit after the students have read Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan which is at a much lower reading level. As much fun as Percy Jackson is for them to read, the students also need a more challenging book to follow it up and this novel fits that ideal perfectly. These books will also complement an excerpt written by Mary Pope Osborne found in our Literature textbooks as well as the original excerpt from Homer's version of The Odyssey. Students will be able to use this epic retelling in order to analyze the original text as well as find allusions and make new connections to Percy Jackson and later to Suzanne Collins's The Hunger Games.
