I read this because I love the "Harry Potter" series, and try to check out the new YA fantasy books that have some potential for that kind of enjoyment. This does have the potential, however there are parts that are along the lines of silly humor for an 11-year-old. On the other hand, there are some very rough parts, such as these kids going into Hades, and the dead standing in line there, that I felt were not for the faint of heart and might be hard for young kids to process. Overall, it is a good beginning with some surprising twists and wraps up nicely, though open for the sequel.
