book recommendation

I'm considering using The Lightning Thief with my gifted/highly able grade 3/4 students. Has anyone read it? Is it too much for that age?

I teach gifted kiddos too. I haven't read The Lightning Thief (a lot of my kids have) but have several other good recommendations for 4th. My 4th graders are getting ready to read The Mysterious Benedict Society and I've blogged about some of our other favorites here and here.

We've done online book discussions using Moodle, too.
