review 1: Lots of action and plenty of mythology and puns make this a very fun, fast read or read-aloud for early elementary grades (par for the course, considering one of the authors wrote Library Lil.). Although this is the third in the series, it was just fine to start with--major events in previous books are summed up here but doubtless no less exciting to read about in full. This volume is 50 pages longer than the first Magic Tree House book, but would be a solid recommendation for fans of that series. I definitely don't want this series to get lost in our juvenile fiction collection!
review 2: I am hooked on this young children's chapter book series! While easy to read it is a fun, engrossing, action-packed quest adventure that is sure to please. I love Greek m... moreythology and it is keeping me entertained. It certainly takes liberties with the original Greek tales it takes inspiration from, but it gets the basic details right and introduces youngsters to the main players in the world of Greek gods. Obviously from the title we can tell that the quest for this book is to find Hades' Helm in The Underworld. Along the way the current group of Olympians meet up with Charon, Cerberus, Mnemosyne, the furies and Thantos. Since Hades joined the gang in the last book, it is only appropriate that Demeter, through her filial ties to the Underworld, is the new Olympian added to the group of heroes. It's refreshing to see such a quality adventure quest series for this younger age group. less
