This may seem somewhat "nutty," but my daughter has been all over me to read the Percy Jackson series. I have found these books by Rick Riordan to be absolutely riveting. The target audience is the Harry Potter crowd... and yes, the first movie of the series comes out in February.
Imagine Greek Mythology moving to present day. And that the gods sometimes have children with mortals [shades of Hercules] - and you get the Percy Jackson series, with Percy being the son of a god and therefore a hero who bridges both the world of the gods and humans.
Solid entertainment. And I love it partly because it is educational without being hard hitting.
