The Last Olympian by Rick Riordan.

In which it is the final battle for Percy Jackson and his friends. The prophecy of Percy’s death has been told. New York and Olympus are under attack and the gods are gone fighting a monster. It’s up to Percy, Annabeth and all the campers to save Olympus from Kronos, the evil Titan lord, who wants to destroy the world, humans, and the gods. In the final adventure Percy and his friends run into loving hellhounds, shadow traveling, visions from the past, a beef-brain minotaur, baths in the river Styx, mortals who are more important than they seem, and great battles that are so intense you can‘t look away. Will Olympus and the world be saved and will Percy live through what may be his last adventure?


This book is so serious that you can’t put it down. With the fear that any of the characters can die in the end, you are turning the pages with amazing speed. Even if you are not a big reader this book will make you one! But it is so fun to read. Clarisse is so stubborn that you can’t believe it! What happens to Percy, Annabeth, Grover, and Tyson leaves you so excited that you could scream and jump around! I was a little disappointed with the very ending because it left some stuff unanswered but Mr. Riordan says that the story will keep going but just with different characters. I hope that Percy, Annabeth, Grover, Tyson, and everybody else will still be there to save the day.

This book is in the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series

The Sea of Monsters by Rick Rordan

In which Percy is having bad dream about his friend Grover, who is being chased by a large Cyclops! He goes to Camp Half-Blood only to find that Thaila's tree (the tree that protects the camp) has been poisoned, and the camp is under attack! So Percy, Annabeth, and their new friend Tyson sneak out of camp on a quest to find the missing Grover and the Golden fleece, which will heal Thalia's tree. Along the way they bump into Monster Doughnuts, an angry Clarisse, Scylla and Charybdis, C.C.'s wicked spa, Sirens, man eating sheep, and a really dumb Cyclops. Will the heroes get away with the golden fleece?


This series is so exciting and fast! This book was so much fun to read. Annabeth and Percy are a great team as always and Tyson is so sweet. There are many references to the Odyssey, so if you have read that story some of them will be more funny than if you haven't. But it is not necessary. There are many surprises in here. I really enjoyed reading this book. I'm sure all Percy Jackson fans will enjoy it too! Happy reading!


This is in the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series.

The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan

In which Percy's teacher calls him out...again. But as soon as they are out of sight the teacher turns into a harpy and wants to kill him! While he is with his mom, Percy's best friend, Grover comes telling them that they are in danger. As they are running, Percy's mom is caught by a minotaur. After that he learns that all the Greek myths are real and that the gods are still out and about messing with peoples lives; and that he is the son of one of the gods. Soon news comes that Zeus' Thunderbolt has been stolen and Percy and his new friends must find it in only ten days. On their quest they meet many monsters, run into a god or two, go through a tunnel of love, get stuck in a hotel were time passes with out you knowing it, and learn that you can't trust everybody, even people they thought they were close to, to keep their word.

This is a very exciting, scary, adventurous, and hilarious book! Percy, Grover, and Annabeth make a great team. Percy, who knows hardly anything about Greek myths but has a very short temper, Grover who is always hungry and scared, and Annabeth who is very smart and sarcastic. The mix of the three will make you laugh out loud! Some of the Gods are very funny how they have modernized them selves to fit in with the modern culture. It took me a while to get past the first couple of chapters but if you can make it past them then you will absolutely will love this book and the rest of the series.

This is the first book in the Percy Jackson and the Olympians
