Just finished book 4 of the Nicholas Flamel Alchemyst series by Michael Scott. It is really interesting because I never had any desire to learn about mythology and these books pack the pages with all kinds of myths and "gods". Lots of real people in them too as immortal humans...Flamel, his wife, Machiavelli, Billy The Kid, Count St. Germain, Joan of Arc, Virginia Dare, Shakespeare... I can't say this too often, I am SO glad that kid's books have stepped up their game. I loved to read when I was a kid but I never had books like these to read!
