Legends Series by Anthony Horowitz – Book Review
My daughter has always loved retellings of the Greek and Roman
myths. I picked up ‘Legends: Tricks and Transformations’ by Anthony Horowitz
for her at the library, and once she started reading it, she zipped through all
the stories in just a few days. She has since read the ‘The Wrath of the Gods’
volume as well, and told me she would like to read the rest. From a kid, I
think that’s a darn good recommendation.
The reading level for these books are listed as 9 and up,
and my daughter was 8 when she started reading them, and did not have any
difficulty with the reading level. However, the old mythology itself, as most
of you probably know, can be brutal. While I believe this is a child-friendly
version, if you have a sensitive kid, these myths may not be a good choice, no
matter who is telling them.
