Wow is all I Have to Say!!

Wow!! I recently read the Percy Jackson series and I am blown away! In this series a young boy named Percy discovers his is a demigod, half human, half god.
The first of this series of five is The Lightning Thief, and boy does Rick Riordan do a good job starting off the series!! The Lightning Thief is full of action and twists and turns in the plot. In this book Percy Jackson finds his godly parent and starts off on his first quest to return Zeus' master bolt. In, The Lightning Thief, the characters of Annabeth, Grover, Luke, and the gods, are all well developed and the beginning to a great series is made.
Second in this series is, The Sea of Monsters. In this story, Percy
sets off on another quest to rescue Grover from the Cyclops's lair and find the Golden Fleece to save Thailia's tree within the Sea of Monsters.
In the third book in this series, The Titan's Curse, Percy, Annabeth, and Grover are sent to a boarding school to escort two very powerful demigods back to camp. They also, along with Artemis' Hunters, set out on a quest to rescue Annabeth.
Fourth in this series is, The Battle of the Labyrinth, where Percy, Annabeth, and Grover head into the labyrinth to try to discover how the Titans
were discovering their war plans. It also consists of many different battles and gore,
In the fifth and final book in this series is, The Last Olympian. this book does a good job wrapping up the series with a final battle against Kronos, and many gifts in the very end.
Well Rick Riordan certainly has an AWESOME series on his hands. And all Lightning Thief lovers should brace themselves for the brand new book just out from Rick Riordan, The Red Pyramid.

  3. Mrs. Keeley-
    I do and don't think that movie did the books justice. The movie was altered to fit in the alotted time and many major parts were cut out. but the movie also pushed many people to read the boo so they got many more readers. Keep reading for any books that I may not recommend!!

  8. I loved these books too(not that I've met a kid who hasn't)! Rate these books in order on a scale of one through five, one being your least favorite.
