Another book for tutoring sessions. A great quick read for kids who want to learn about Greek mythology but aren’t big readers. Very comprehensive.

I just read a very good book, Icarus by Dan Mishkin and Rick Hoberg. The story starts with Daedalus gets married and had a kid named Icarus. Icarus is always doing what the king wants. One day Icarus and this dad made wings. Read this book to find out what happens. Read this book if you like people that can have wings or a king.

I just read a awesome book, Icarus by Dan Mishkin. The story begins with a dad and a boy.The best parts of this story are when they fly. The main character is Daedalus and Icarus. They are brave and strong. I liked this book because it reminds me making thaer on wings If you like books about strong or brave people then I recommend you read this book.
