Percy Jackson Series by Rick Riordan


SYNOPSIS:  Percy Jackson discovers that Greek gods still exist, and that his father is one of them.  He goes to Camp Half-Blood, where he is sent on a quest filled with adventure.

AUNT SHARON'S TAKE:  This series seemed a little immature and silly to me, but that is just the grown-up talking.  For pre-teens and teens, I think this book will be really enjoyable and exciting.  There is some violence in it, but it is mostly age-appropriate, and not scary or gory.  The last book, however, is darker and more serious, so I would recommend that one only for teen readers.

RATING:  PG

AUDIENCE:  Books 1-4 Children and Pre-teens, Book 5 Teens

STARS:  3

BOOKS LIKE THIS:  Harry Potter, Kane Chronicles
