Myths and Legends by Anthony Horowitz

Anthony Horowitz is best known for the Alex Rider series, which has been popular in our library with upper elementary and middle school readers, especially boys. In "Myths and Legends," he offers up several short stories, including classics such as "Pandora's Box." Most of the myths were Greek. All the stories were interesting, simple, and easily understandable. I would highly recommend this, especially because of the increased interest in mythology due to the Percy Jackson craze. It's a nice introduction to the magnificent world of legends as it leaves a lot of space for exploration. Everything is explained nicely and more like fairy tales, so I would consider this a jumping-off point for someone just starting to read mythology.
