I couldn't be happier with the way it's working out. Everything is really simplified but there is ample challenging vocabulary in just the right places. Those books are just right for teaching vocab in context skills. I do recommend that a 4th-5th grade elementary classroom have a Percy Jackson read-aloud with some Tales from the Odyssey independent read or lit groups, really. With this series, he's building background knowledge to apply to all of the great things that happen in the Percy Jackson series. I'm using the Tales from the Odyssey series by Pope Osborne as independent reads (HIGH interest for my son) and they are just right for him as a 4th grader, but they're short like the Treehouse books, but full of gore and horror appropriate for 4th grade boys.

The Percy Jackson series is HIGH INTEREST to 4th-5th graders right now, and some of my 8th graders are even into it.
