Lately, mythological monsters and the gods of Mount Olympus seem to be walking straight out of the pages of Percy's Greek mythology textbook and into his life. Book #1 in the NYT best-selling series, with cover art from the feature film, The Lightning Thief.

"this series sparked my ever-lasting love for Greek mythology, and the writing was so well done! Riordan uses humor throughout the series, and his characters are so strong! he knows who they are and what they would do in any situation, which a good writer should do anyway, but you can't punch any hole through his characters. I've read so many of his series - even Magnus Bane. I'm super excited for the live-action series to come out!"
"I’ve finally started this series and was happy with the first book. I thought some of the stakes could use a little more dramatization but overall I was interested! I did have to remind myself that the MCs are 12 a couple times because I’m so used to older characters. I’m excited to see where the next book goes!"
