SEA OF MONSTERS by Rick Riordan

Percy Jackson is finishing seventh grade and he hasn’t had any problems lately. But on the last day school, Percy finds himself in a death match of dodge ball with Laistrygonian Giants and cannibals and receives news from his friend Annabeth that their camp (Camp Half-Blood) is in trouble and the magical borders of the camp that keep the monsters away have been poisoned. Camp Half-Blood is in danger!!!Percy and Annabeth have to travel into the Sea of Monsters and bring back the Golden Fleece to protect the camp with danger at their every turn! The funniest part of the book is when Percy encounters Cyrce the sorceress and she turns Percy into a guinea pig. This reminds me of once when I was trying to draw a dog and it came out looking like a guinea pig. I think both boys and girls who are 8-12 years old will enjoy this book. RATING: *******************************************************************************

THE LIGHTNING THIEF by Rick Riordan

This book is about a half blood (half human, half god) named Percy Jackson. He goes on a quest to find Zeus’s thunderbolt because Zeus is blaming his father, Poseidon for the theft.

My Favorite part was when Percy battles a fire breathing Chimera in the Gateway Arch, diving 600 feet into the Mississippi River.

I think both boys and girls ages 10+ will enjoy this book.

RATING: *****

THE LIGHTNING THIEF by Rick Riordan

This book is about a seemingly normal boy named Perseus “Percy” Jackson. But then, monsters start attacking him, and he discovers his best friend is half human-half goat, and he is sent to Half-Blood Camp. He also discovers that he is the son of Poseidon, the water god. Then he is accused of stealing Zeus’ lightning bolt and Hades’ helm of darkness, and must have them returned in ten days. Next, the Oracle predicts a horrible ending for him. Will he survive his quest??? A part of the book that I liked was the table of contents. The names of the chapters are hilarious, and you should read them before you start the story. I think both boys and girls ages 9-13 will enjoy this book. RATING: ****and a half
