Additional Details

Percy Jackson is a good kid, but he can't seem to focus on his schoolwork or control his temper. And lately, being away at boarding school is only getting worse -- Percy could have sworn his pre-algebra teacher turned into a monster and tried to kill him. When Percy's mom finds out, she knows it's time that he knew the truth about where he came from, and that he go to the one place he'll be safe. She sends Percy to Camp Half-Blood, a summer camp for demigods (on Long Island), where he learns that the father he never knew is Poseidon, God of the Sea. Soon, a mystery unfolds and together with his friends -- one a satyr and the other the demigod daughter of Athena -- Percy sets out on a quest across the United States to reach the gates of the Underworld (located in a recording studio in Hollywood) and prevent a catastrophic war between the gods.

this is a good rad aloud for 4 or 5 graders. I think that you would probably read it on your own if you where older or the same age

WOW, what a great series. Very formulaic, but still very good, you’ll see what I mean. It made me want to go review my old ancient empire text books.

Awesome

A great book for kids and adults, demigods and mortals alike will fall under the spell of Percy Jackson, where Greek Mythology, isn't, mythology.
