What is the Readathon?
Pratham USA Readathon 2015 is a fundraising initiative that encourages kids in the U.S. to read more books and raise money to help less fortunate kids in India learn to read.
How does it work?
Kids ask their friends and family to donate money to Pratham for every book they read. The more books they read, the more money they raise. Learn more here.
Where does my money go?

With the help of trained professionals and dedicated volunteers, Pratham runs pre-schools and after-school programs in many cities and villages of India so that underprivileged children can read, write and count at their appropriate grade level.

The Blood Of Olympus

The Blood Of Olympus

The giants escaped Tartarus with the help of Gaea, and they are climbing up olympus to get revenge on the gods. The only way to kill a giant is by gods and demigods working together.The gods and half-bloods have chance of survival only if they work together. I liked this book, but would only give this book a 3 because I didn’t like the ending. I am hoping another book will come out, and until then I am going to be reading Harry Potter.

The Son Of Neptune

The Son Of Neptune by Rick Riordan:
The main character Percy awakens from his long slumber not knowing anything about himself or where he is. He makes it to a half-blood camp but nothing there rings a bell. The only thing he knows are his name Percy, and the name Annabeth. Percy now sets on a mission to find his memory. Meanwhile at the camp Percy came from, people are trying to find Percy and figure out who is the kid sitting in the middle of the camp. This is my favorite book in the series and would give it 5 stars.
