Hi, I am in a K-4 school and with the movie The Lightning Thief coming out in February, many kids are asking about the book. Right now I do not have it in my collection. since the reviews I've read recommend it for grades 5 or 6 and above. I just finished reading it and the only thing I found that might make it questionable for grades 3 & 4 (very good readers) is the mention of the gods fathering children with mortal women without being married. That is pretty much throughout the book. I don't know if nine & ten year old kids will focus on this and if it will cause a problem or not. If you have this book in your library & you have primary aged children, what has your experience been? Thanks!
