Mr. Smith needed additional reading options for his Mythology Class. Thanks to some funding from MEF, he was able to acquire a set of two books from the acclaimed mythology author Rick Riordan. Kids now have the choice of the Red Pyramid and the Lightning Thief. Both stories follow young teens as they grapple with new powers given to them by being related to the gods. They are learning about heroes in class, exploring the hero’s journey by reading these Egyptian- and Greek-themed publications.
