Percy Jackson and the Olympians/ Heroes of Olympus

Percy Jackson and the Olympians. Jeez I love this series so much! I've read the series probably three or four times since sixth grade when I was introduced to the series. Incorporates modern day teens with ancient myths of Greece which for me was right up my alley.

Summary: Percy Jackson, just your regular son of Poseidon. The series starts off when Percy discovers that he is the son of a Greek god and is whisked off to Camp Half-Blood, a camp for demigods like him. He befriends a satyr named Grover and a daughter of Athena named Annabeth. Throughout the series, Percy and his friends go on numerous quests in order to thwart the evil Titan Kronos. Great for kids grades 4-9.

Official Reviews: Won as School Library Journal Best Book of 2005
The New York Times praised The Lightning Thief as "perfectly paced, with electrifying moments chasing each other like heartbeats
Matt Berman, of Common Sense Media, praised the book, saying "The Percy Jackson series continues to be pure fun, with the author doing nearly everything right to produce a book that few kids will be able to resist"
Kirkus reviewed The Battle of the Labyrinth as, "This volume can stand alone, but no one will be able to read just one...look no further for the next Harry Potter, meet Percy Jackson as legions of fans already have."

My Review: A stunning piece of work with a very satisfying ending, I can't wait to find out what happens in the newest series which is a spin-off of the original Percy Jackson and the Olympians series. For a nerdy kid in love with Greek Mythology, this book was perfect. I'd give it an easy 5 stars out of 5.
