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.

June 25, 2015 at 4:43 pmI read the first two because we have them on the shelf at my library and then promptly forgot to read the rest. This would be a good way to catch up.

June 25, 2015 at 9:11 pmI actually can’t choose between the books because I may have read them all in one go over a weekend. I may have ignored everything else and done that. Don’t tell.

June 26, 2015 at 12:50 pmI loved the last book in this series. Not to give any spoilers, Percy’s conditions/demands and his conversation with Hermes did it for me.

June 27, 2015 at 9:35 amI have to admit that I’ve yet to read these books. I don’t know why- I’ve heard nothing but great things. They’re definitely in my TBR pile! ^^

June 27, 2015 at 5:10 pmMy favorite book is Battle of the Labyrinth because the stakes are the highest for the main characters.
